Recorded on Sept. 17, 1970, at The Royal Festival Hall, London, with the Orchestra Of Light Music Society, conducted by Sir Malcolm Arnold.
 
The promo version has a different cover, so have some European releases. I can only offer you sections of them because the whole vinyl doesn't fit on my scanner. The promo sticker has a misspelling: "Robert Glover"!

Surprisingly enough (for a classical record) there was a single released, namely Bourée in an edited version. B-side is Aria.

 
There's a difference in the covers (of the vinyl records). The German release (Hör Zu) has a cut-out design through which you can see Jon's picture on the inner sleeve. The other releases have just a flat cover, with no cut-out. Composed and scored by Jon Lord, January through August 1975. Recorded between September 3rd and 6th, 1975 at Stadthalle Oerkenschwick, Germany with the Philharmonica Hungarica, conducted by Eberhard Schoener.
