In solidarity with the recent uprising in Egypt, I´d like to present a record from Egypt. Nothing obscure though, as Abdel Halim Hafez is “among the most popular and celebrated singers ever in Egypt and the Arab world“(Wikipedia). Touba and Ahwak were huge hits. Strangely, for such famous recordings, nobody seems to have taken the time to scan this record and post it on the Internet. At least, I haven´t found a picture of it.

About me:
My name is Andreas Michalke. I´m a cartoonist from Berlin, Germany and I like collecting records. Most of the records I find in thrift stores or at flea markets here in Berlin. I like a lot of music but I thought I`d focus on odd German records. Preferably with cartoon covers.
All my scans are high-resolution. If you double-click on them they will get much bigger.
