Notes

Welsh and English Song Sheets Enclosed

All Royalties From This Record Will Go To The Combined Welsh Churches And Chapels In London

Nostalgia, that's the answer. That is why Welsh Americans, at their annual Gymanfa Ganu in Chicago or Cleveland, seek to recapture the old homeland harmony. And it gives the key to the extraordinary performance of the five thousand unrehearsed Welsh which congregated, like migrating birds, at the Royal Albert Hall, London, on that eventful night of May 3rd to bring this record into being.

Made in England.
