    1. Oh! ..I really have no idea how that could've occurred as had copied the (new) link in its entirety...yet it links to On Parade!
      Will investigate......

    2. Totally bizarre as the link size is correct - but I sent the file to 'trash' and happened to re-instate it - and it shows (now) as the SDD1 file!
      (It's even crazier as the On Parade file, being copyright, isn't even on that account!)

  2. Thank you, now it's working. I have had the Decca demonstration disc on LP for decades. It has that annoying narrator!

    1. Was going to add a 1966 DGG 45ep ("Test Record for setting up Stereo Equipment" -101 497).
      Announcer is a laugh.. "P.E. Instructor"....but it was too crackly.
