[78-L] Malcolm Sargent - Messiah

[Thomas Stern]

Thanks David, Randy!

Anyone know if there were other SL-xx series slipcased releases ??
I think I've seen other Columbia sets in slipcase (Shaw maybe..) but don't remember the catalog number.

Did the Messiah set make it to LP in the UK ??

Best wishes, Thomas.

I know where my copy is, but didn't feel like going out to the garage to check it.
