Notes

WRC pressing - unique sleeve art.

This seems to be the first appearance of the 'bland' design (a two-tone picture within a rectangular coloured border, with text above and the WRC logo at the top in the centre) - a style which dominated the label's releases for a time, the last known one being R-03846. Now instantly recognisable as belonging to the label, but a shadow of the creativity shown in releases from the 1960s, like the "TE" series. It was prefigured in the Retrospect Series, when sepia tones were used, in the early 1970s.
