There was no commercial issue of McLane's Mozart Concerto. If it was broadcast, someone may have an aircheck, but no one has come forward with it. Also, he performed the Copland Concerto shortly before his death, but no aircheck has surfaced.
He made a very fine Brahms Trio on commercially issued 78s, which was reissued (in poor sound) on an LP on the Grenadilla label, but it's been out of print for many years. If you're near New York City, you can go to the Lincoln Center library and listen to a tape of it.
Several people have airchecks of wonderful live performances of the Schubert Octet and the Beethoven Septet at the Library of Congress.
The February/March 1992 issue of The Clarinet (Vol 19 #2) has a McLane discography, most of which the Larry Guy collection has.
The Dvorak Cello Concerto is full of clarinet solos, and one of McLane's best orchestral recordings is of this with Gregor Piatigorsky. It's worth having complete, as there are many more solos than Larry Guy had space for. It's been reissued on CD on http://www.amazon.com/Grego-Piatigorsky-Plays-Great-Concertos/dp/B0000029VD/ref=sr_1_10/102-5295307-4568957?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1189949092&sr=8-10 and also on http://www.amazon.com/Ormandy-Maestro-Brillante-Box-Set/dp/B000057O6M/ref=sr_1_5/102-5295307-4568957?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1189949092&sr=8-5, which has a number of other recordings with McLane.
