Siegfried Wendel - oldtime music - Vintage mechanical instrument devices lp (SMM03)


I bought this album the other week from a charity shop for 49p purely because i found the cover interesting lol, it looked weird and strange and the black and white sleeve reminded me of a family album i have.
Musically its very strange its old music from the 1700s / 1800s etc played on automatic instruments such as music boxes and flutes etc, the missus and kids didnt like it :P
the only online presence i found really was an oxfam page where it had been sold for £8.99, not one download site came up...so "enjoy"

heres the tracklisting

Thanks. I just found this album this morningin a souk in the old medina of Rabat (Morocco. Bought it for about 2 euro. I was looking for some info on the Web and found your blog. I also found Siegfried Wendel's own webpage.
