[78-L] Singing Dogs

[David Lennick]

Rene Aagaard sent me scans of a few of the original Carl Weissman labels of Syngende Hunde 4 or 5 years ago..if I'm not mistaken he also sent me a CD-R of the original versions of the Doggies as well as some other singing animals.

 

Mercifully, no Jingle Cats (the ultimate torture).
