1975 Sweden
These are copies of cassette tapes that I recorded on a small recorder/player. Some of the tapes have deteriorated, some are not played back at the proper speed. I am using my website to preserve the tapes as I have them now. In time, I will do some editing to improve the sound on selected tunes. Anyone wishing to hear a “cleaned up” version of a particular tune is welcome to contact me and I will get to it.
