More flexi-fever: This flexible wonderful promotional gift record for the long gone cigarette brand Priméros contains "music for the duration of a cigarette". The hissing, crackling, popping, the missing frequencies and the distortion add so much to this already highly evocatice story, don't you think?
This is beautiful. Nice find!
AntwortenLöschenNice 45 flexi. I have 1 copy in my private collection.
