Dragon reaches number ten

Volume 10 in Dragon's impressive series of reissues from the 1950s fills a number of CD gaps: Eight Domnérus titles, two with Hallberg, four alternative tracks with Rita Reys from 1953, the rare C-H Norin tracks from 1954 an unknown (to me) Theselius session and, finally, more live takes from a Lulle Elboj broadcast from Copenhagen 1954.
