See: https://ontherecord.co/2025/10/22/copland-billy-the-kid-rodeo-johanos-2  for commentary - but as no-one visiting here downloaded the July 1983 Hi-Fi News pdf I linked there ... here's the bar-graph of the Decca as opposed to the US VOX mastering.....Frequency extends just past 24kHz .. A complete waste-of-time even bothering!
