Notes:

“A COLUMBIA recording, released exclusively in Australia by World Record Club.”

Australian WRC 4th pressing – initially released in 1962 as FE-57, this is the first issue with the new catalogue number and artwork. Also, it’s the first time WRC issued the LP in stereo – still a reissue?! Mono and stereo versions have an identical flipback sleeve and the same number on the back (S/4330) – the mono version has “4330” on beige ‘strobe’ labels, while the stereo has “S-4330” on green ‘strobe’ labels. There is a printed “stereo” rosette on the back, and the mono has a red sticker with “mono” placed over this (though these tend to drop off with age).

Offered again as an ‘ambassador’ LP in October 1968, in mono & stereo – presumably with the same sleeve layout, but non-flipback (as a rule, WRC’s last flipbacks were in May 1968). The stereo version was then reissued almost annually until the mid 1970s.
