Lineage: Broadcast?>silver>EAC/FLAC>You

Sound: VG+ (strict) - the ends are washed out but middle is strong, overall clear but not full broadcast strength


Though titled "The First European Concert" he did record in Paris in 1954 and I'd assume played some date/s
around that? It appears to be the first of many 1960's European concerts though.


The Transfer:

This is an EAC straight to FLAC with TLH for the obligatories.
Nothing has been changed on this error free copy!
