From the archives of
2012, this is a vocal collection from that classic RCA Living Stereo era that doesn't see much daylight these days. Possibly because it was on the Camben budget side of things, or possibly because to my ears the sound is a bit muddy. Not sure why that is, but it seemed to be that way down in the grooves. Still worth a listen to this newly encoded version for 2018. This is
The Augustana Choir-Henry Veld, Director-
