The Boston Public Library (USA) has digitised its collection of legacy vinyl (crackle and hiss and all) at the Internet Archive, and it's the absolute epitome of a 50s–70s library record collection.

@AKMA
many of these seem to be 'samples only', which makes sense, but a few I've checked are full...like Alice's Restaurant.

@Sedunker Sadly, some of the best choices are just 30-second clips…

Warning: some albums consist of nothing but 30-second samples — though others are the full album. For jazz fans, it's too bad they don't list the personnel.

Wow! Thanks for the link. So many titles 😍 : jazz albums, Shakespeare plays, Brecht's testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee (!), Lenny Bruce (!).
