Information from owned 78rpm french release, owned LP and Bn-Opale plus; also from Revue belge de Musicologie, Vol. XXXIV-XXXV (1980-1981): Bernard Gagnepain - Safford Cape et le "miracle" Pro musica antiqua (p. 212); and also "The Gramophone Shop Encyclopedia of Recorded Music", 1942 ed.
A number M6 86?88 & M6 86?89 also appear engraved, but nearly completely covered by paper label, on the shellac of disc. According to Jerome F. Weber, this disc was probably made in Chatou, France. On the paper label appears "Étiquette provisoire", probably a very early release.
