This recording is mostly Bill W speaking at the third annual International AA convention held in Long Beach California in 1960, along the way he introduces Lois, Ebby and Sister Ignatia. Each takes the mic for a bit at their introduction, also Bill tells a good bit of his story along with information about the creation of AA. The overall quality of this recording is excellent it cleaned up really well, there a few audio artifacts but its an easy listen.

Bill W one of the founders of AA speaking in California in Jan. 1960 this includes a brief speak by his wife Lois W.
This runs 90 min, the first 30 the audio is ok but not great. If you want to skip to about 30 min in the audio is much improved. I cleaned this up quite a bit but at a point its diminishing return.

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

AA founder Bill W speaking at an unknown event in Des Moines Iowa in Nov of 1948. Many of the recordings of Bill are him speaking on a specific topic, this one is not, he simply tells his story and how it leads to the creation of AA. This is a great quality recording for 1948.

Bill W. Bill starts with the topic of gratitude and moves on to his story and how that led to the creation of AA at an unknown event.
This is from June of 1954 and I was able to remove the nasty hum it had, the result is a pretty good recording for 1954. This runs just a little over an hour and for the first 40 min the sound quality is pretty good all things considered. The last 20 min the sound isnt as clear, it gets a bit muddy and I couldnt fix that but it is still listenable.

Sybil C had been sober for 39 years at the time of this speak, she is from of Los Angeles and is speaking on the subject of How the Traditions Were Born, a topic she lived while working in the AA office in New York at the time of their creation.
Sybil got sober in 1941 after trying for 17 years, at her first meeting she was asked to wait out in the hall because it was a closed meeting and they thought she was one of the wives, not one of the drunks, she was also the first woman AA member on the East coast. I was a bit shocked at how well this cleaned up considering how it sounded on my first listen.

Excellent quality recording for 60+ years old, it was sounding a bit muddy so I took it more to the top end, for your particular device you might need to add a bit of bass.
