An ERATO OF PARIS recording, released in Australia exclusively by World Record Club.

Australian WRC 1st pressing, sourced from original stampers and featuring unique sleeve art. S/5039 on sleeve, S-5039 on labels. Dark green logo and font on sleeve. No umlauts. The labels feature squat/square headers, with all text in bold non-italics, which (with or without italics) was the standard style for 1972. Soft polythene inner sleeve. Truncated single address on the back, with Vic. Contains double-side sheet with texts and translations. Reissued in January 1974 and August 1976 - look for variations in the logo colour and label layout (and R-00705 on labels for the latter, along with the absence of a laminate strip down the right side of the rear of the sleeve).
