Confirming what I'd half guessed at yesterday, that the 1954 version was 
briefly released in 1958 in stereo..but does it have Les Patineurs as filler 
and is it stereo? Or with the short side lengths of early stereo LPs at that 
time, was there a filler at all?

I have no idea why they'd have issued the early one, even to get it into the 
market briefly, when they did the new recording fairly quickly in 1958, unless 
one hand at RCA jumped the gun and the other hand said "Hey, we were going to 
do a brand new Living Stereo version". I wonder if LSC 1817 is a collector's item?
