Notes
Recorded June 1956 in Kingsway Hall, London"A Columbia recording, released exclusively in Australia by World Record Club."
Australian WRC 2nd pressing, sourced from original stampers and featuring unique sleeve art. Not reissued in mono. New artwork - black box, with gold lining and a picture on the front, in purple. Same number on the spine (S/4380-1-2), with "S-4380", "S-4381" and "S-4382" (still at left) on green 'strobe' labels. 44-page libretto included, featuring 1969 address combination (leading one to suspect that this is in fact a 1969 reissue - the 1970 version would be expected to have the numbers on the labels at right, even if the addresses weren't changed):
299 Flinders Lane, Melbourne
