Serious haul from the Carla charity shop in Floridsdorf:

Robotron - this is the choir of East Germany's largest electronics manufacturer back in the day.

Audio-Camera 1 - more sound effects for slideshows.

Herb Alpert - Wild Romance - can't go far wrong with a bit of Herb.

Didier Lockwood - The Kid - seriously intrigued by this one.
