Gary, your signature is 6 times as long as your comments. I’m losing focus here scrolling up and down this thread.

Are we concluding that ML 4471 has notes by Slonimsky, minus a quote by Schoenberg from the 78rpm album, but there also was a UK release on LP with notes by George Perle? (I’ll bet they're not as witty as Slonimsky’s.)
