Equally at home at village dances, beergarden tents or concert halls, the Augustin Band reached the height of popularity in the sixties and seventies. Numerous radio and television appearances, many top selling record releases and two highly successful North American tours made them a household name to devotees of genuine, old-fashioned oompah music. Captured on this tape is 60 minutes worth of some of the Augustin Band's very best. You will hear lively polka, waltzes, marches and one or two more sombre concert pieces. A true showcase of the artistry of an original folkloric institution.
