Album Info

Release Date: 1963-05

Label: World Record Club

1961 UK studio cast production. Orchestra unnamed, but The New World Show Orchestra is credited on the UK version.

"A World Record Club presentation with the compliments of CRAIG & SEELEY PTY. LTD., 21-35 Hope St., Brunswick, N. 10, Victoria. Phone 38 6391. Also at Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide & Perth."

Custom pressing for the Craig & Seeley gas heater company, to promote their "Customaire Briquette" model. Same credits and liner notes on the back of the sleeve. The Australian World Record Club/Light Music Club LP was issued in a flipback cover with square corners on the foldover - this one has rounded corners, dating it to the end of 1962 at the earliest: as this was coming into Summer in Australia, mid-1963 is more likely. The heater itself was being advertised from late 1961. The label actually has "mono" written on it, which is unusual - it is unknown if stereo copies were also produced.

There is no catalogue number anywhere - the WRC one has been given, as it's the same album. The slightly different matrix number in the side 1 runout matches WRC's May 1963 reissue of the regular LP.
