Hi Karl & David,
  Thanks for this information - please let me know some details of this 
LP (title, label, catalog number....).  Would be very interested in 
obtaining a copy or dub.
  In searching the (En)rico Ricardi reference, a site about film dubbing 
indicated that the singing voice for Karloff is Tudor Williams.  Anyone
know?  I thought the 'Karloff' vocals were rather musical, the others 
grating.  Did Williams make any recordings?
  Thanks!
  Best wishes, Thomas.
