Notes

Original recording Copyright 1957 by World Pacific Records.

Australian WRC 2nd pressing for The Record Society. the first pressing was housed in a gatefold cover - this one uses the right side of the gatefold, with the back of the sleeve now presented as the front. Unlaminated flipback sleeve. the date is unconfirmed, but WRC issued its last flipbacks in 1968, the same year that The Record Society stopped issuing gatefolds as its standard.

The Record Society Pty. Ltd., 330 Flinders Lane, Melbourne.
