Chuck C presenting a speak called "A Spiritual Journey" at an unknown event held in 1970, he was 25 years sober at the time. Many of his speaks are awful sound quality, this is a big exception, it had a buzz that came right out making for a pleasant listen. Chuck became sober in 1946 and by the time he passed away in 1984 at 39 years sober he had given hundreds of speaks all around the world. The book - A new Pair Of Glasses - was a transcript of his speak at a mens retreat. A new pair of glasses is still available: https://scast.us/newpair 5 new events added to the event list, including the 28th Annual Thailand AA Roundup.

If you have never heard Sybil C you are in for a bit of a treat. Sybil was the first female AA member on the West Coast, she got sober in March of 1941. Sybil carries a no-nonsense message laced with wit and humor, she also shares great insight into the early days and development of AA. Most of the recordings of Sybil are pretty bad, this is the best quality I have heard and it cleaned up really well.
