Album Info

Release Date: 1951

Label: Columbia Masterworks

This release is packaged in a triple gate fold held together by a paper spine strip. Another version with same catalogue number was released with a hard spine that necessitated a longer cover. That packaging appears to be more like the typical 78 RPM "albums".
At this point it is unclear if these releases were concurrent or one is a reissue. Both have same label style that includes "LONG PLAYING MICROGROOVE" at the bottom and are printed on matte blue paper with silver print.
Back cover bottom notes make reference to the recording also being available as a 7" LP- a short lived format introduced by Columbia in 1950.
Release date confirmed via: Billboard, May 26, 1951, p. 22-"• Best Selling Classical Titles"
