Michel Legrand - El Humahuaqueno (ripped from vinyl: Legrand In Rio, Columbia CL 1139, mono, 1957)

How am I doing? Any feedback or criticism you want to share about the quality of these vinyl rips would be much appreciated. What can I say, it helps me gauge the effectiveness of my techniques. :) Thanks in advance!
