Lake Records und Paul Adams ist es wiederum gelungen, alte Aufnahmen, die seinerzeit von Storyville (Dänemark) veröffentlicht worden sind, wiederum dem Publikum bekannt zu machen.

Es handelt sich weitgehend um die Aufnahmen der alten Storyville LP SLP 144, ergänzt mit z.T. sehr schwer erhältlichem Material.

Lake Records and especially Paul Adams have again done a very good job with digitalizing the Storyville recordings of 1953. I'm sure many fans of the Barber Band will listen to these sounds for the first time. Most of the titles had been issued on Storyville SLP 144; this CD contains a few more titles that were difficult to obtain even in the early fifties.
