[78-L] Facade

[David Lennick]

Definitely 1929, and only half (or slightly less) of the work. Sitwell herself 
recorded it at least two more times, on American Columbia in the late 40s (78 
and lp) and for London with Peter Pears around 1954. The Red Deccas were still 
in print through the late 40s. Also issued on US Decca (25000 series) I believe.

> I was just listening to the Lambert/Sitwell English red labeled Decca 78s of Facade.  These records appear to be from the late '40s but the web tells me this is a 1929 recording.  Is this true or did the same artists record it twice?
