Family: Old Reel to Reels and More (44 files)

A collection of audio tapes from our past. Mostly reel-to-reels between 1959 and 1965, sent between New York and Malmo. Most found in a suitcase, collected by Berndt in Malmö. Additional material from cassette, and even digital-original recorded by Mik with his kids and family. Most of these were transferred in the fall of 2018. Enjoy!
