Decca  LX 3107  10" 1953 LP/matrices: DRL1209 -2A / DRL1210 -2A    /    Decca  ECS 816  STEREO (electronic **)  1978 LP/matrices: EAL12707 -1G / EAL12708 -1G
Recorded: 8/9 April 1952  &  Oct./Nov.1954 - Victoria Hall, Geneva    (The 1952 recordings were re-issued 1957 as Decca/London LL 1324  - no LXT release)
'Mallarme' + Faure are single-channel from the electronic-stereo. Liederkreis LX 3107 additionally auto-de-clicked after vast effort (the surfaces, whilst appearing mint, were stunningly noisy due to inferior matrix processing: now just a subdued trace of 'hash' at side-ends (and sounding superior to Mr Pristine's effort !! mp3 sample - second part is Liederkreis)
October 2016: 24/96 files converted to 24/48 - slight (1.5dB) treble added to 'Liederkreis' - a few ticks removed from 'Sheherazade'..

Decca  ACL 123  (LXT 2833)  1967 pressing / 1961 matrices: ARL1760 -1LR / ARL1761 -1NR 
Recorded: 15-19 / 22-25 June 1953 - La Maison de la Mutualite, Paris
Presumably this was recorded with an EMI tape-recorder - as the frequency-range extends to almost 30kHz - thus the 24/96 files are rather superior (and 4x larger).   Difficult surfaces to edit 'to near-perfection' (which, of course, you require)      ACL 123 sleeve / LXT 2833 sleeve-note >>>

Earliest copies of ACL 7 had an RIAA mid- '50's LXT transfer. This has a wider dynamic-range than either of those/original issue.      
On Decca Eloquence CD - but this probably sounds much better!   Sleeve scan is of the 1951 original -    Sleeve-note >>>

The 2008 'Eloquence' CD of 'Coq d'Or' apparently sounds 'defective': from the 1970 Decca Eclipse (ECS 543) 'Electronic Stereo' copy tape.   Slight re-edits Dec.2020
