Comments:
Information from BnF Gallica, owned 78rpm french release and LPs; also from Revue belge de Musicologie, Vol. XXXIV-XXXV (1980-1981): Bernard Gagnepain - Safford Cape et le "miracle" Pro musica antiqua (p. 212).
Matrix numbers (M6 ????? & M6 ?????) are engraved on the disc, but nearly completely covered by paper label. Also on the label, the presumed date of birth for Isaac is 1400, not 1450; the label (78rpm) of BnF is cream and black; mine is cream and purple "étiquette provisoire" and without the mention of Curt Sachs as "Directeur artistique".
