Hello Dave, Congratulations on winning this album. There were three "Souvenir" albums released in South Africa, Vol's 1, 2, and 3. They all play at 16and 2/3rpm and contain about 30 tracks each. I am fortunate to have all 3 albums in my collection. I used to play them on an old "DANSET" record player, and they are superb. A few years ago I had them transfered to CD by a professional studio and they are as good as the vinyl discs. Even if you can't play the record,it will still be a valuable addition to your collection.I must add that after all the years of playing these albums there is not a single scratch on any of them, and that goes for the more than eighty vinyl albums of Jim Reeves in my collection. Sincerely. Colin.

: I was wondering if anyone has seen any of
: those rather unusual long play records that
: play at 16rpm? I have just won one on ebay
: (which will hopefully arrive soon) and this
: will be the only one I possess in my rather
: large record collection. This one is called
: the 'Jim Reeves Souvenir Album', can anyone
: tell me if there were any other LP's made at
: this 16rpm speed by Jim?
