Kim Borg, bass
The main reason for obtaining this particular copy is that Kim Borg has autographed the inside of the gatefold cover.
First, let me say that the pressing is not of the best. Kim Borg had a rich and secure voice and should have been far better known than he was. This LP shows us a little of his artistry. Although not mentioned on the cover, the 'Songs and Dances of Death' are orchestrated by Kim Borg himself. The 'Song of the Flea' is an utter delight yet Borg manages to bring out the darker side of the song.
I had the pleasure of meeting Borg and spent a while talking to him. He was generous and warm with an easy smile. He very kindly signed this LP and was surprised that anyone would have one of his records!
Recorded: 1968
Gatefold cover contains a commentary in English/German/French

Owing to their weight, the postal charge for LP's is expensive.
Our records have always been handled with care and stored correctly. However as we are disposing of our entire record collection, time precludes us playing every single item to check whether there are any faults that are not apparent from a purely visual check. To avoid any dispute buyers should be aware that they buy our vinyl with the above proviso in mind.
