Annotation

NOTE 1: Release Date

I added this release, it was in the vinyl collection of my mom.
don't know when this was released, my mom bought it on October 15th, 1974, so I guess it was released before.

NOTE 2: Title

The title of this release is unclear.
- "Ballett-Festival / Nussknacker-Coppelia" is written on the side
- "Ballett-Festival
Nußknacker/Coppelia" is written on the back
- "Nußknacker/Tschaikowksky
Coppelia/Delibes
Glanzvolle Höhepunkte aus weltberühmten Ballettmusiken" is written on the cover. (Last line means approximately "Highlights out of world famous ballet musics")

NOTE 3: Track List

The track list on the back reads as following (is this grammatically correct!?), literally translation in brackets, I don't want to look up the English titles, hope they don't differ. If they do and you want to clean up *something* here, feel free to contact me (Please, do not).

1:43 b) Tanz der Zuckerfee (Dance of the Sugar Fairy)

I left out the I.-III. and a)-f), because it has actually nothing to do with the track titles, but something with the "organization" of the tracks on this release.

NOTE 4: Track lengths

I overtook the track lengths from the back cover (as you can see), though the tracks are shorter if I play this release on my moms player. As it happens with all the track lengths on vinyl releases I play on this thing (it was the same as with a Moody Blues album and The Dark Side of the Moon, so either it is spinning a bit faster than the record players thirty years ago did, or vinyl records often have only approximated track lengths.
