Mixed bag of outdoor recordings- field recordings of sorts. Some folks set up a recording table at an Oakland flea market and gave free recording sessions (plus a direct-to-disc lathe cut 7”), most tracks have traffic or bird sounds in background. Generally good quality performances and lo-fi production. You could do fine playing any few tracks in a row.
