RCA Victor LSC 1893 [1960]

I believe yours was recorded in 1955 whereas the one I posted was recorded in 1961. Odd that they would make two recordings of the same work in such a short time frame.

 

[TEX-Tech]

Another of the "Living Stereo" remakes in an attempt to improve the original.
Once again... (IMHO) -- Fail --
I prefer the 1960 (1955) version.

And... Boy!! what a tough album to light for a photo!

They actually did this several times. I believe the story is that the engineers felt they could make a better recording (Due to improvements in technology)

They may have been successful... But, the general consensus is that, in all cases, the first releases were the preferred versions.
