[78-L] VERY early Jussi Bjorling?

[Kristjan Saag]

This was, indeed, one of the first recordings by Jussi, made during a US 
tour with his brothers and his father (who also was an opera singer).
These Columbias from 1920 (there are three of them) have been reissued many 
times. A few years ago one of them was offered for about a 100 dollars by 
Nauck.
