Comments:
Information from the booklet provided with the owned LP compilation:
"The history of music in sound. Vol. 1: Ancient and Oriental music, edited by Egon Wellesz. New York, Oxford University Press, 1957" (41 p. illus., music. 25 cm.) program notes by Egon Wellesz and Gerald Abraham, intended originally for use with 78 rpm version, laid in container; corrected contents (p.7-9) applicable to 33 1/3 rpm. version inserted (excerpt from MELVYL catalogue)
The RCA LSC number is presumably the stereo version (from backcover of the booklet) although I am not certain if it was released as such.
