Comments:
Information from Disques (for HM) and Medieval and Renaissance Music on Long-Playing Records (# 2 - Carish). I have no explanation why the content of Carish (7in./17cm) and Harmonia mundi (10in /25cm) is similar.
This is the third LP released under the label Harmonia mundi at the end of 1958, early 1959 by the two Harmonia mundi companies sharing a common catalogue (Harmonia mundi (France) under Coutaz, Harmonia mundi (Germany) under, later known as Deutsche Harmonia mundi. These LP were part of an economical serie labeled HMO 25.1xx or HMC 25.1xx (HMO appears to mean monophonic issue), HMC 25.1xx (HMC appears to mean stereo compatible).
