The World of W. S. Gilbert & A. Sullivan, Volume 3
This is the third and last of the "World of...." series. Side 1 has
highlights from Gondoliers,
Trial, Ruddigore and
Iolanthe.
Side 2 has highlights from Mikado,
Sorcerer and

it was the last of the series to be issued and the first to be deleted.
There may have been other issues besides the one listed below, but none
