> then transferred to a "33" in 1951 (try 1950 and 1952 as well.)
>
> 2.) It has 12 minutes of "thunder" on one side and 12 minutes of railroad
> engine sounds on the other. It is the "thunder" side that I seek.)

> 4.) This recording is - NOT - the following early recordings of "thunder"
> on LP's:
>
> A.) the second recording of a thunder storm called "Echoes of the Storm"
> with Crazy Quilt on the Audiophile label.
>
> B.) nor is it the third recording of a thunder storm entitled: "Voice of
