Preservation files: (2 audio files : digital, WAV file, 96 kHz, 24 bit), in long term storage, Digital Library Processing server [myh_lt10a4616_v01f01_em (Side 1), and myh_lt10a4616_v01f02_em (Side 2)].
"The holy babe" (4th work) is a bonus track; according to Discogs.com, the original 4th track is called "The holy Bible". Uncertain if this track was another piece or there was a missprint on the original album. The final track order of the published album "Sweet little Jesus boy" doesn't match this audio.
