Gill Sans SUBS 4th Sep 2024		Lilie Wollin Chopin Favorites	A most enjoyable listen!
whitewhale1965 4th Sep 2024		Lilie Wollin Chopin Favorites	Tracks can be heard here.
Gill Sans SUBS 2nd Sep 2024		Lilie Wollin Chopin Favorites	Two observations on this record: The date seems to be 1960, according to an odd finding on Wikipedia. A search there for Lilie Wollin finds there is no article for her, only a "show all results" page which shows the date and an incorrect cat. no. Click on the linked page and you go to a page which doesn't mention her or list any Crown records. A search using the wonderful "Search on eBay" button finds a copy which is clearly a later issue of the same record and cat. no. I downloaded the images from eBay so we can see the difference in sleeves and labels.
