Album Info

Release Date: 1966-11

Label: World Record Club

Cover art: "Wild Irish, or Paddy from Cork with his Coat Buttoned Behind", by Thomas Rowlandson, 1818.

Australian WRC pressing, sourced from original stampers and featuring unique sleeve art. Mono and stereo versions have same number on back of sleeve (D 899) - the mono version has "D-899" on beige 'strobe' label, while the stereo has "SD-899" on green 'strobe' label. The stereo version has a printed "stereo" rosette on the back, and the mono has a red sticker with "mono" placed over this (though these tend to drop off with age).

Issued as a 'dividend' release, offered at a low price ($1.80 vs the regular $3.75) for club members who had bought one LP or more in the previous 12 months - the "D" is no doubt a code for "Dividend".
