Скачать или смотреть Memories of Melba

Whilst preparing for the new Melba biography book launch at the Australian High Commission on the 9th March 2022 our Chairman and Founder, Isla Baring OAM found an old BBC vinyl in her record collection that was entitled 'Portrait of a Prima Donna, Memories of Dame Nellie Melba' [from John Amis archive(1922-2013)] dated 1960. Isla had it professionally converted to digital, and we’ve uploaded it here for posterity.
