More Josef Marais

I am indebted to reader JohnnyUSA who has graciously provided Josef Marais' first recordings, in response to my recent posting of Marais' second album.

Johnny has provided a very nice transfer that I have cleaned up a bit. There are a few brief passages of groove damage, so please be warned. [August 2019 note: I've replaced the defective sides with new transfers.]

I hope Johnny doesn't mind but I am using the cover of the 78 album above (his transfer is from the 10-inch LP). That's because, as often happened, the graphics on the 78 album were much better than the LP. I have included the LP's front and back cover in the download.

Those of you who have heard the later collection will know what to expect, so it only remains for me to thank Johnny once again for his contribution!

  2. Johnny,

    I am sorry - I credited the wrong person! Not sure how I did that. I swear I wasn't under the influence of anything but music. Will correct my error!
