This original longplay record album was released in the USA as KL-1011 by Kapp in 1955, and will forever be part of my personal collection.  I ripped its contents for my enjoyment and created this video hoping to share it with others who appreciate hard-to-find and obscure music. Should the current copyright holders require its removal from this site I will comply.
