Hi!
I absolutely love this; especially the Timberland ballad.
If you wouldn't mind, I have two questions for you.
Were copies of this record sold to the general public?
Secondly, I don't know if you are aware: but whomever performed the transfer from the record to digital did not have their turntable properly grounded. As a result, this recording has a great deal of hum that doesn't exist in the original.
A turntable has what's called a grounding wire that runs from the back of the turntable and is supposed to connect to a metal grounding screw on an amplifier. If this is not connected properly, the turntable produces this loud hum.
Is it possible that you might consider having this transfer redone? This material is worth the effort.

Would you happen to have a radio campaign also from 1980, but with one of the radio PSAs featuring Mel Blanc and the Looney Tunes characters? (it's the one where he and the LT characters say whenever they're in the forest, they're among friends)

Unfortunately, no, we don't have any copies of Mel Blanc PSAs in our collections. We'll post if we ever come across it, though.

@@foresthistory Oh. Ok.

Also fun fact about the "Fósforo" one: It's actually a Spanish version of the "Match" radio PSA from the "Remember: You're Among Friends" vinyl record
