General notes about this release (please note: our version may differ a little. see the comments above):
A special recording initiated by the Council of Amsterdam, released on September 30th, 1960.
1000 copies were pressed. They were sent to members of the Dutch government and journalists.
It is an appeal - entitled "Luister naar de hartklop van uw hoofdstad" (Listen to the heartbeat of your capital) to the Dutch government to reserve funds for building the "IJ-tunnel", connecting the centre of Amsterdam with the northern part of the city. The Amsterdam council and (870.000) inhabitants thought it was not fair that they had to pay for the tunnel all by themselves, whereas other major infrastructural projects in the Netherlands received government funding (with money from Amsterdam tax payers included).
Both sides contain spoken word by Flip Bloemendal and Wim Povel.
Amsterdam Mayor Gijs van Hall can be heard in the final part on side B (uncredited).
The songs listed on the label are merely snippets interlacing the spoken word.
The running order does not quite match the order in which they are actually heard (A8 and A9 have switched places) and some songs are heard twice (A3 and A5).
The performing artists are not credited (except for the narrator, the voice actor and the Amsterdamse Politiekapel).
The performing artist on track A5 (which is repeated towards the end) could not be determined; it is played on church bells.
