Notes

Nearly identical to Missa Luba but no "Electronically Re-Recorded..." statement on labels. A mass sung in pure Congolese style and native songs of the Congo. This is an electronic re-processing to permit reproduction on stereo players of a performance originally recorded monoaurally. A 10-page booklet with an introduction in English and art prints is attached in the fold. The front cover has a "Connoisseur Collection Philips" seal/sticker on the front cover. Some copies have a "Includes 'Sanctus' from the hit movie 'If'" sticker attached to the cover. This is in reference to the appearance of "Sanctus" in the 1969 film "If." This stereo simulation version of "Missa Luba" was released in 1965; however, it didn't reach the charts until "Sanctus" became a hit.
