The Bulgarian State Choir - Songs Of The Plains (LP, Album, Club) (Very Good Plus (VG+))

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

Notes:

"From the catalogue of HARMONIA MUNDI, released in Australia exclusively by World Record Club."

Australian WRC 1st pressing, sourced from original stampers and featuring unique sleeve art. S/T 4283 on flipback sleeve, "ST-4283" on green 'strobe' labels. In a sign of things to come, this was one of five WRC LPs in the June 1967 to May 1968 Programme to be issued in stereo only. The WRC programme of the time, although bearing the worlds "all records available in mono or stereo" at the top, featured five LPs with an asterisk, which, upon closer reading, leads to the text at the bottom of the next page - "this record is stereo compatible; i.e. suitable for playing both on stereo equipment and good mono equipment with light-weight pick-up of high compliance. Preferably, however, equipment should be fitted with stereo cartridge and stylus - this enabling playback of all stereo".

Offered again as an 'ambassador' LP in May 1968, free in return for introducing a new member to the club. The addresses are no doubt the same (unchanged for 3rd ressing), it may be a non-flipback (they were discontinued the same month), and may have "S-4283" at left on labels, rather than "ST-4283".
