  No musicians info, no exact date, no exact location. This recordings are possibly the earliest existing. The songs where probably all recorded "live", meaning in one take. One song has some applause at the end, but this does not indicate it was recorded before an audience, might as well be someone during the recording session. This recordings might not be intended for release.

I owe this info to Roger Nupie.
