Speeding Driver Blames Tchaikovsky

Going through old boxes of my grandad's 78s just now, I came an edition of The Daily Herald from 1956 with the item attached. I'm not sure what's more shocking - being intoxicated by Tchaikovsky's Fifth or speeding between 45 and 52 mph !! :)

A man called Hans from the Netherlands has emailed me to say that he runs the Summertime recording database and that my arrangement is no. 53,818. Fantastic! Two things run into my mind: 1) I feel like I've won the Lottery (no I haven't) and also 2) could someone organise a REALLY BIG online poll so we can vote for the favourite recording?
