This Lp was compiled from 78rpm discs by Decca when prepared for release on the new long-play format. Both sides of the Lp had been previously issued as two separate 78rpm albums, and though this is a near mint condition copy of the Lp, the inherent surface noise present in the 78rpm discs used for transfer are glaringly present here. Also, while most sources (such as Discogs) claim this is a 1952 release... it is, in fact, from 1950.
