Album Info

Release Date: 1971

Label: World Record Club

"An ERATO OF PARIS recording, released in Australia exclusively by World Record Club."

Australian WRC 1st pressing, sourced from original stampers and featuring unique sleeve art. "S/2807" on sleeve, "S-29807" on labels. The labels have the earliest layout for blue 'herald' labels, from mid-late 1971, with a mix of fonts - short/squat font for catalogue number, tall, narrow font for headers, all fonts bold, with some text in italics. The addresses on the back of the sleeve are the 1971 combination.

The LP was part of the club's "basic programme", started in 1970 and running from March to February each year. It consisted primarily of reissues, with the same catalogue numbers, but there were also some new recordings of previously issued works - only twenty or so appeared, and they were given catalogue numbers from S/2800 up (this one replaced S/2426 in the catalogue).
