On Vinyl! “The Year of the Tiger ’68”
Last week I posted the Channel 4 review of the 1968 season, but this is the original as far as I’m concerned. My Dad bought this 33 rpm record for me in 1978 — we had to send away for it, as we said then — and I just about wore it out. I’m so thankful this stuff lives on in the depths of the Internet.
Start your week with the sounds of a young(er) Ernie Harwell.
