Buddy Rich - The Magic of Buddy Rich (1984) [Full Album]

One of my favorite Buddy Rich albums. I had originally uploaded this a while ago after I had copied this album from a cassette. Was able to find a great high quality version worth uploading!

*(Note: This album was later re-released on Meteor Records with the title "Rich and Famous")*
