Tropical Memories - P 10039 R



This record is a 10 inch.
I can't really find anything online about this record.
I'm guessing it's 50's-60's recordings (if you know feel free to contact me and I'll add the information)
I found this record on Queensday in Rotterdam some years ago.
The records the lady was selling didn't really look in good shape, but we took a look anyway :)
I immediately loved the sleeve. And when I saw it had krontjong tunes on it i was interested in buying. The lady asked 4 euros orso and I rembember thinking it was kind of alot for something that was in not such good shape and might even skip, but the sleeve was well worth it.
And I'm so glad we bought it.
I love this period of krontjong. Actually the older the better. The pops and crackles make it even prettier in my opinion.
Recordings from The Kilima Hawaiians, "Bintang Sinar" and The Mena-Muria Minstrels.
Have fun listening and I hope it warms you up on these colder autumn days X
