Unreleased – Rare Recordings
Most were recorded on reel-to-reel tapes or on 45 rpm (EP) and 33 rpm (LP) records.
For now, we have digitized only those recordings in order to prevent their deterioration.
Later on, we will consider making the remaining recordings available.
Please bear in mind the modest sound quality of this small files and that not all browsers support the same media formats.
This section will be gradually increased.
