Oh wow. I've been clicking back and forth between Fast and Slow in Canada in the 1960s. I haven't even left my native country yet!
It's imperfect, though - somebody has included Gene Chandler's version of "Eleanor Rigby" in the Canada 1960 section, and as far as I know, he's never lived in Canada.

Yeah, oddly, for the US in the 1910s, I got a recording of Irish tenor John McCormack singing "Una furtiva lagrima," the tenor aria from "L'elisir d'amore," an opera written by Italian composer Gaetano Donizetti in 1832.
According to the internets, McCormack's version was recorded in Camden, New Jersey in 1910, so I guess that's how it ended up there, but still.

I'm having fun bopping around the world in one decade, or around the decades within one country.
