The 01 February Night Thread of “25 Polka & Waltz Greats” by K-Tel (Again?!)

“But Skull Ring,” I hear you complain, “You just did this two days ago!”

Au contrare, mon frere. In 1972, K-Tel released another compilation with the exact same title, and nearly identical artwork, but a completely different track list. It does, however, share three songs with 1971’s 25 Polka Greats Volume 1. At any rate, that’s 72 unique polka recordings (although there are a couple song repeats, but by different artists).
