Pia: Close Encounter w/Hendrix, Danish Postal Service

My dad … ordered (1960s) albums from England that you couldn’t yet buy in Denmark. I guess I was too little to understand the coolness factor of that - but I do remember my dad’s reaction when the mail-carrier couldn’t stuff the rather large, flat, cardboard envelope, containing one long awaited Hendrix album through the mail slot: We heard commotion at the front door - and arrived just in time to open the door and see the mailman *break* the box over his knee so he could stuff it through the offending slot. We lived on the fifth floor … I’ve never before or since seen my dad run down the stairs so fast … No, I don’t think the Danish postal service ever paid a dime for the album.
