KeithS SUBS 19th Jan 2024		78 RPM William Lind - Künstlerleben / Wien, Du Stadt Meiner Träume (1947)	Until recently there was a really comprehensive site here in Sweden listing all these old companies...splitting them up into Norway, Denmark and Finland..al real labour of love..all by one knowledgeable man...who is no longer with us apparently and his site just disappeared.
