[78-L] King Edward VIII 1936 Farewell Speech Inquiry

[Michael Biel]

The speech was issued by many of the established record companies such 
as Brunswick and Victor. There were some issues on labels just for this 
recording,  That might be one of them. A label scan and matrix info 
might help.There is a BIG difference in sound quality between the 
recording in American and British sources.
