 I'll go with that then.

It has been nagging at me though, why this, with early matrices has later edition labels, when I've seen later issued albums with ED 1s (?)

Doesn't really make sense.

(I think a Zubin Mehta Decca I entered, which has narrow band labels on my copy, I have seen with ED 1s on the net... but I'll check the date on that again)

I can only conclude that this didn't really sell, and all but dribbled out of the factory without troubling the press too much... and yet they are readily available now around the net, so maybe it still isn't that sought after - I'll have to give it a spin soon, maybe it sounds like I tried to play it! :)

 Hi MM, Decca's 1974 main catalogue gives the release date as April 1968.

 My copy of this has wide band grooved labels, but the upper left portion of the rim text is consistent with the second variety ED 2 (or later) text: "Made In England By...", as opposed to the first (ED 1) text: "Original Recording..."...

...However, my matrices for each side are: 1W / 2W ending respectively, so a very early press for this release.

Which makes me wonder if the earlier text (ED 1) exists for this title... given the 1967 release date (the last year of the "Golden age of classical vinyl - 1958-1967), and I have seen slightly later releases - 68 ish, with that label text. This is quite lowly valued for a Decca SXL on the whole too (around the £20-£40 mark), even with the wide band labels, so either it sold a shed load, and is easily found, or was not highly regarded from the off, and was never valued highly at all.

...In either case, for it to have gotten only to 1st and second matrices by the time of this label would imply that if the ED 1 does exist, it may have been only fleeting, barely touching the time that label was in use, whereas this is relatively ubiquitous.

So the odd scenario could be true, where as ED 1 label copy could be among the rarest in the catalogue, but this next label and on, the most commonly found.

(If, of course, the ED 1 does exist!)
