"A Columbia recording, issued exclusively in Australia by World Record Club."
WRC 1st pressing on beige 'strobe' labels. Issued in separate sleeves. Mono and stereo versions have identical flipback sleeves with the same numbers on the back (S/T4340 and S/T4341) - the mono version has "T-4340" and "T-4341" on beige 'strobe' labels, while the stereo has "ST-4340" and "ST-4341" on green 'strobe' labels. On the labels, the catalogue number is at left. 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).
Eight-page unstapled libretto included, with line-by-line translation. Staples were no doubt avoided to prevent damage to the vinyl, or to save money on staples.
