Record Comments: This record
includes music from two People and Places documentary shorts.
Some tracks include multiple titles, with a mixture of vocals and
instrumentals. The record cover appears to have two front covers, with an inner sleeve
containing the traditional back-cover contents. However, the codes
below the track listings on the record labels suggest that Samoa
is side one, composed and conducted by Oliver G. Wallace. Switzerland
was composed and conducted by Paul J. Smith. Matrix
