    1. Hi Philip,
      Almost wasn't this version of the Warhorse as was intending to transfer ('unplayed' copy) Kyla Greenbaum's on World Record Club (T8 - mono only). But this needed a litte was'n'brush-up - as with my 2nd copy of the Brahms PC1.
      The last time they were on LP was a re-issue 4LP green box - as 'stereo transcriptions' - really faded & awful.
      This has the advantage of being a later transfer - when EMI's transfers were more 'alive'; hate to think what the 1952 was like as have several of the 'transferred with wet string' variety..
      May do a slight re-edit as the copy (not surprisingly) had been played more than once!
