Media Condition: Very Good Plus (VG+)
Sleeve Condition: Very Good Plus (VG+)

Notes:

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

Australian WRC 3rd pressing (2nd as S/5023), sourced from original stampers and featuring unique sleeve art. Previously issued in 1965, as "Two Cantatas" (STE-366). Same runouts as the 1972 pressing. Slightly darker blue WRC logo on the front. Issued with two-sided insert with the German texts and their English translations. "S/5023" on sleeve, "S-5023" on blue 'herald' labels, which feature short/squat header fonts, with no italics (a rather late appearance for this style - there may have been an earlier edition, or a 1972 repress with new labels. By the end of 1973, the non-bold font had come and gone, and tall narrow headers were the incoming style. The first 18 LPs in the set were reissued from June 1973 - one per month till November, then two per month from December 1973 till May 1974).

Issued again (vinyl only) in July 1976 and January 1977 - look for the absence of a laminate strip down the right side of the back of the sleeve, and the new catalogue number R-00697 on the labels.
