Song titles in quotes I took from lyrics and aren't official, the rest are either my
best transcription of announcements or from titles I looked up.
These tracks come from multiple broadcasts, specific locations and dates are unknown,
but at least some of the tracks were recorded at The Zanzibar Club in NYC.
Generally, the quality is very good for the time period it comes from. There are some
occasional artifacts in the recordings, but I don't feel it's anything that detracts
too much from the music.
Hope you all enjoy this disc - it's like taking a step back in time -
