Made in Bogoda, Columbia, in 1981. Without a record player to listen to these, I am going to assume they are documentary style recitations of news combined with other sound effects, as depicted by the Columbian newspaper, El Tiempo. From Wikipedia: "El Tiempo (English: "Time" or "The Times") is a nationally distributed broadsheet daily newspaper in Colombia launched on January 30th, 1911. As of 2019, El Tiempo has the highest circulation in Colombia with an average daily weekday of 1,137,483 readers, rising to 1,921,571 readers for the Sunday edition." This item includes these four items:
1) a thick outer sleeve into which a cardboard holder includes the other three parts in this package. This thick sleeve and cardboard holder show wear but are holding together and have kept the inside items in GOOD CONDITION.
2) a 4-page (a large folded sheet) showing the track listings on all 8 sides of the 4 LPs - listing photos show all of the pages and all track listings,
3 ) a glossy book showing photos of the newspaper over time. There are 155 pages in the book followed by an Index showing what appears to be the specific issues and articles that comprise this set. The glossy pages are glued into the binding. A few of the initial leaves became unglued, and while I glued them back in, I suspect others are tenuously glued as well. All the information is there in clean glossy pages, but further use of the book could result in some of the leaves becoming unglued.
4) 4 LPs in plastic inner sleeves. ALL LPs ARE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION, with no scratches seen on clean vinyl. They look unplayed.
PRESUMABLY FULLY IN SPANISH. AN INTERESTING 4-LP DOCUMENTARY SET ON WORLD EVENTS AS SEEN THROUGH A COLUMBIAN NEWSPAPER THROUGHOUT ITS 70-YEAR HISTORY AS OF THE YEAR OF THE PRODUCTION OF THIS SET, 1981.
Inspect the track listings carefully and see some important events and people in history, including for example: Adolf Hitler, Anwar Sadat & Menahem Begin, Mohammed Ali, The Beatles and Elvis Presley, and many others.
