Auld lang syne

This 1966 event exists widely but I provide full track lists with three photographs, one of the audience that night, a rare one of Milanov and Tucker during their applause (which serves as the cover art) and a picture of a swatch from the Great Gold Curtain. I also have cleaned up the sloppy tracking that circulates in many collections

This is a great documentation of the singing of the time. To think that all these people were there at once... and the announcement of the honored guests at the beginning is even more astounding.
