I’ll be honest – I was reticent to even post this one, as the disc is so totally beat that the sound quality is almost unlistenable. But it’s a super rare one and the transfers that are available are only marginally better.
It’s a great example of how sometimes even 78s in the worst shape sometimes are so special and important, as there just may not be too many other copies out there.
