Absolutely off topic, but remembered talking to this guy and listening to his collection of special recordings:

A guy in the Dutch chapter of the Triumph TR Register used to own an old-school radio-store back in the 60s and 70s. With tape recorders etc. He started collection rare recordings. One day, just after the German 'Wende' (when East Germany and West Germany became one country) he laid his hands on a collection of recordings of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra recorded in April 1945(!). Bought those for next to nothing and once home, he remastered them (I think 'remastered' is the correct term?).

His workspace is an Aladdin's Cave for audiophiles. Endless rows of recordings. Most on tape. And he vouches that all are originals. And when remastered, with the original recording in the same box. He sat me down after I'd asked him what his most obscure recording is. He started a tape from the end of World War II. You can hear the orchestra playing and the sound of war (artillery?) is in the background. As if nothing was going on! The orchestra leader was arrested after the war for collaboration and only 'cleared' a few years later. The orchestra leader became part of a film with Harvey Keitel: 'Taking Sides'.

And, when I asked him what was missing in his collection, he told me that there's only one recording of Adolf Hitler talking with a normal voice. It's a well-known recording. But he would love to have the original one.

I do hope they are all in the best possible taste.
