Considering the extreme rarity of the original 78s, condition is generally better than might be hoped, but it must be borne in mind that only one or two copies are known to exist of some titles. Remastering: Studio Klement, Vienna. Original recordings from the collections of Werner Benecke, Günter Boas, Wolfgang Fromm, Roger Misiewiscz, Johnny Parth. NOTE: The original 78 used for B-3 and B-7 had a rim-chip; the first grooves were unplayable.
