A bit of "found music" from the 1960s


I recently found this box of my Dad's old reel-to-reel audio tapes from the late 1950s to mid 1960s. They hadn't been stored particularly well and I doubted that I could yield anything interesting from them... I was wrong! The quality is actually amazing considering the circumstances. Some of it is incredibly precious commentary by relatives who are long gone, but there is also some music which I am posting here in case there is some interest in such recordings. These tapes are from Hungary so unsurprisingly the music is Hungarian. The tapes are predominantly popular music of the era. Click on on each clipping below to get the full audio of the tape associated with it. Enjoy!
