Comments:
Information from "Lyrebird Rising, Louise Hanson-Dyer of Oiseau-Lyre 1884-1962", Jim Davidson, 1994, Amadeus Press, ISBN 0-931340-72-1, p. 311 & 493.
Also from WERM (1952 ed., suppl. I) and Bn-Opale plus; but there are significant discrepancies between Bn and WERM; Bn entry states 6 discs, WERM 5 (OL 230-234) but WERM lists Pérotin, Bn doesn't; Bn lists tracks 7, 8, 9, 11, not WERM).
