The very first circus audio tape in my collection (which I bought from Paul Tharp in 1964 just before I started my freshman year in college) was the complete 1955 Ringling-Barnum show. It is the performance that was taped in Miami at the end the season and which has been circulating on the collector’s market for well over 50 years. (I just recently got around to re-mastering my original ¼-inch reel-to-reel tapes onto a set of user-friendly index CDs.) I was surprised to learn a week from or so ago from a comment that Buckles posted that the elephant number that year wasn’t a traditional elephant act, but took place primarily on the hippodrome track.
