"A DECCA recording, released in Australia exclusively by World Record Club."

Australian WRC 1st pressing, sourced from original stampers and featuring unique sleeve art. "S-5148", "S-5149" and "S-5150" on labels, "S/5148-9-50" on spine and libretto. Purple, white and grey cover, gold lining to box. The address is the 1972 version, with the 365 number and the abbreviated "Vic." for Victoria.

The first pressing is identifiable by the gold lining and the labels, which feature short/squat header fonts, with most other text in italics - the standard style for early-mid 1972.

Unusual side labelling, to specify the two different operas:
Cavalleria Rusticana
LP1 - side 1 and side 2
LP2 - side C is "side 3"

Pagliacci
LP2 - side D is "side 1"
LP3 - side E is "side 2", side F is "side 3"
