Thanks gogo, nice pictures. Are they classical/opera? North Korea seem to have exported LPs to Europe in the 70s (to raise foreign currency, presumably, as they did with stamps). My interest in North Korean music started when a revolutionary opera LP turned up in a charity shop in my home town, years ago.

It sounds like mixture between classical and revolutionary music - I can't compare with something.
