Arthur Bliss, City Of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Hugo Rignold
Meditations On A Theme By John Blow / Music For Strings
Album UK 1966 on Lyrita Recorded Edition label
Classical (Contemporary)
As far as I know this is a first edition copy of Lyrita SRCS.33 - it has 'deep groove' labels and the stamper numbers are 1K/1K. However, it may not - at least technically - be a first edition copy, as the text 'An Original Lyrita Recording First Published In 1966' is printed on the labels. Also, the text 'Published and © by Lyrita Recorded Edition, England, 1966' is printed on the back cover. Corrections are welcome.
