Cello Concerto / Concert Overture 'In The South' / Elegy For Strings

Overview

Cello Concerto / Concert Overture 'In The South' / Elegy For Strings --- undefined

A very similar version exists with text on labels laid out differently [r12525615]. This version is has "PRINTED AND MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN BY ROBERT STACE" on back of cover. Front Cover: Adolphe Vallette (1876-1942): Albert Square, Manchester 1910. Courtesy of the City of Manchester Art Galleries. ℗ 1980 Original sound recording made by Music For Pleasure Limited. This LP coupling Robert Cohen's Elgar Cello Concerto with other Elgar works was first released in 1980, and is described on the sleeve verso as "A Classics for Pleasure Recording - produced January 1980," with the Elegy for Strings track recorded earlier ("Produced by Brian B. Culverhouse January 1978"). It carries the 5-digit number of pre-1982 Classics for Pleasure releases, but the labels follow CFP's "third label design" introduced in Spring/Summer 1983, with a "red swirl design across the upper half" of a cream background, black CFP logo, and "copyright text ... on a single line around the upper circumference of the label," not in the black this design initially featured but in its later red. The company address of 1-3 UXBRIDGE ROAD, HAYES, MIDDLESEX, printed towards the foot of the sleeve verso also indicates a TPQ of 1983 (https://www.discogs.com/label/89085-Classics-For-Pleasure).
