Notes

Symphony recorded 7 - 8 September 1956, Partita recorded 12 - 13 November 1956, both in Kingsway Hall, London.

"A Decca recording, issued exclusively in Australia by World Record Club."

Australian WRC 2nd pressing on green 'strobe' label, sourced from original stampers and featuring eye-watering new sleeve art. "S/4126" on sleeve, "S-4126" on labels. The address have been updated from the 1st pressing:

299 Flinders Lane Melbourne
177 Elizabeth St Sydney
Newspaper House, 93 Queen St Brisbane
Stafford House, 23 Leigh St Adelaide
Barnett's Buildings, Council Ave Perth

Issued again in August 1969 and August 1970 - one would expect the address combination to change, but editions which appeared later still, on the blue 'herald' label, featured these 1968 addresses.
