LaurenceD SUBS ● 30th Jan 2024		I don't have a release date for this, but would estimate it to be from 1976-1980. Credited to "Sir Allistair MacKenzie, Edinburgh Youth Symphony and Chorus, Valerie MacLennan" This Aries label (Reseda CA) has a history of issuing unauthorized releases of classical recordings and concealing the identities of the actual performers with made-up pseudonyms. The website havergalbrian.org lists these releases under their Discography of unapproved recordings, and provides the following information about the source recording: Performance date: 13 October 1974 BBC air date: 25 June 1975 Performers: - Felicity Palmer (soprano) - BBC Singers, BBC Choral Society, Goldsmith’s Choral Union - London Philharmonic Orchestra, conductor John Poole I have entered the performers as shown on the album, along with the real performers for referencing. High Fidelity Aug 1981 mentions this Aries label releasing Brian's recordings "a few years ago". They even contacted Aries and got a response: High Fidelity Aug 1981 - see article p.47 "Will the Real Colin Wilson Please Stand Up?" by John Canarina This article (and the response from Aries) prompted many letters in the Nov & Dec 1981 issues, including one letter from Emil Franzi (Dec 1981) who really did contribute the liner notes, and was unaware of the pseudonyms.
