Comments

Stereo-only release (no equivalent mono issue).
A-1 “Bolélo” is also on Mercury MG-50373 (mono) and SR-90373 (stereo).
B-1 “Ma Mère l'Oye” and B-2 “Bourrée Fantasque” firstly appeared on Mercury MG-50145 (mono).

middle light stain on the front cover.

Side-A is FR pressing, but very last one. Side-B is RFR: sound/press quality is not bad, but not too good.
