An H.M.V. recording, issued exclusively in Australia by World Record Club.

Australian WRC 1st pressing, sourced from original stampers and featuring unique sleeve art. Issued in separate flipback sleeves. Mono and stereo versions have identical sleeves with the same number on the back (S/T4153 and S/T4154) - the mono version has T-4153 and T-4154 on beige 'strobe' labels, while the stereo has ST-4153 and ST-4154 on green 'strobe' labels. The stereo was issued with a small S sticker on the front of the sleeve. No stereo rosette on the back. Reissued in March 1968, October 1968 and August 1969 - pressing variations unknown (they may include the move to non-flipback sleeves, the catalogue numbers on the right of labels instead of the left, and address changes - but WRC G&S albums tended to not follow the regular patterns of change).
