A few years back, i heard a very good recording of Vincent price (he was reciting the poetry og Omar Khayyam). it was very nice, bnut I’ve been unable to locate it…I’ve tried searching on Google, and on Amazon. Anyone know where I could find this? it probably dates to the 1950s. 
Are you sure you’re not thinking of the movie “The Son of Sinbad” where he plays Omar Khayyam and does some recitation.
