RARITY #49

MITTERNACHT IN MUNCHEN

BRUNSWICK 86016 LBP (10") - GERMANY, 1953

This 10” was recorded just a few days after my birth. Like me, it is 60 years old, a bit scratchy but it still  swings hard!

Thanks to Onxidlib - and an anonnymous friend of his -  for unearthing this memento from a bygone era, the Golden Age of Radio! - and for taking the time to rip and clean it.

Your work is much appreciated my friend!
