Glenn Miller

I guess that there would be some swing music amongst this little lot of borrowed L/P's and I am not disappointed with the original Glenn Miller...RCA has done a brilliant job of Enhancing for Stereo !! usually when they do that it tends to leave a slight echo and it doesn't sound right but not with this one !!!

          1. Little Brown Jug

Karl Ehrlich Band

Not been to a Beer festival for years and this lot seems to be enjoying themselves lots quite a few of well known tunes and some that you can join in even if you don't know them... it's that infectious!!...wonder where Auntie Jean is !!

Oklahoma..London Cast

Another trip "Out West" in "America" for the music and "London" for the visuals via Mp3's.....This seems to be a recording that was made of an actual "live" performance in 1980.
All the great "Rogers & Hammerstein's" song's that everybody knows and by the sound of the recording it definatly has atmosphere echoey' when the singers seem to move around the stage and of course all the audience applause so its a great one !!!
