Ken Sykora with some of the Top Sellers, the Evergreens and the latest Longplayers
The popularity of the long-playing record is something of a phenomenon. Sales of LPs this year have overtaken those of singles, and this despite television, radio, and other popular forms of entertainment. If your musical taste is avantgarde or 'underground'. ', LP Showcase is not your programme. If, on the other hand. you enjoy hearing popular artists singing songs other than their hit records, and tuneful music that delights the ear, then you will find pleasure here
