Notes

Recorded between 1947 and 1964. Cast of hundreds (well, 182) credited on the back.

"A METRO recording, released for its members in Australia by World Record Club."

Australian WRC 2nd/3rd pressing, sourced from original stampers and featuring unique sleeve art. The first pressing was released during the transition from the "S/" numbering to the "R-", with both sequences on the back of the sleeve, as "R 01896 ": the sleeve design remained unchanged. The later pressings can be identified by the absence of a laminate strip down the right side of the back of the sleeve. Known reissues in October 1977, October 1978, January 1981 and May 1982. Issued in a green colour scheme and a red one, and perhaps others - unknown which came first.
