[78-L] Tom Lehrer question (borderline ^)

[78records at cdbpdx.com]

Speaking of variants, I just found an old 10" Decca 'Songs by Tom Lehrer' pressed in Australia for the Decca Record Co, Ltd, London.  Similar to the UK version but numbered LFA1311.  View here:

Can't find anything about this one.   Any ideas where I might get some info?
 
thanks!  CDB

Moral: Pick up every Tom Lehrer variant.

How does the Eclipse name end up on an EMI product? That was an English Decca 
label for years.
