Hello! I just listened to episode 035 with the V-Records Tribute. Fantastic show. I was excited to hear the groups from my Baba and Gido’s records when I was small. Those tracks sound great! Are those sourced from a CD or the original master tapes? I have so many of those old V-Records and they have seen many an evening “Zabava” lol. I’d be very curious to know. Side note: My Baba and Gido were farm neighbors with Syl Medwid from the Original Polka Kings. I had the chance to hear them play at a family gathering once. A good 40 years ago. Take care and keep the show coming!! Derek Belinsky
