Well, you can imagine what I thought this post was going to be about, given 
the subject line! BTW, it turns out I have a copy of the LP Switched on Bach. 
There is no mention of the performer on the front, but on the back Walter

I suggest you call back and mention the part number and ask them to suggest a 
suitable replacement. If you only mention the part number, they assume you 
have to have THAT part. If you ask for an alternate they won't change the
