This recording is missing the first 20 minutes. This happened within or after my first year as a self-employed farmer/gardener. Perhaps I was sometimes late up on sundays... Maybe my temporarely interest in folk-music had something to do with my job?
I took the right channel of my 2nd transfer (for the best result concerning midrange and treble) and made a pure mono recording of it. 
I used the first incomplete track for station adjusting during the recording. Therefore there are some issues on that track. I smmothed a few of them for listening pleasure. At 1:20 of track 5 there is another disturbance which I reduced a bit. The Volume had to optimized to -0,3 dB and that was all.

The band:

Robert Mandel: hurdy-gurdy (Drehleier)
Gabor Kisz: contrabass
Nikola Parow: bagpipe (Dudelsack), Bouzouki, fiddle (Gadulka - Geige)
Ivan Barwic: Ocarina, Pan pipes, viola (Bratsche), Pandura
Kallmann Balocl: dulcimer (Hackbrett)
