Have you checked Kurtz Myer's "Record Ratings" and the later collections
published by Prentice-Hall, if I recall right. He researched
misascribed and incompletely identified LPs in his precis of reviews for
Notes (the Music Library Association" Magaizne), later collected in the
above books.

Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] Panorama of Musique Concrete..le Help!
Volume 1 is what I have, with the titles as you've listed them.
Problem is, there are 9 tracks on Side 1 and 4 tracks on Side 2, but
the jacket and labels list 8 and 5 respectively, and the descriptions
on the jacket match the titles that are clearly identifiable. There's
no description for Musical Box, just an acknowledgment of its
existence, and the notes refer to ending each side with specific pieces.
Here's what I believe to be the correct order, but if anyone knows
which track is "Musical Box" (I've guessed), please let me know!
CLASSICAL:
1. Trifle in C (Henry & Schaeffer) (1:52)
INSTRUMENTAL STUDIES:
2. Drum--Fleeting Percussion (Henry) (2:12)
3. Flute--Mexican Flute (Schaeffer) (3:07)
Two Aspects of the Piano:
4. i. Study for Piano (Schaeffer) (3:55)
5. ii. Finale of the Concerto of Ambiguities (Henry) (2:03)
6. Unidentified..possibly Musical Box (Philippe Arthuys) (3:29)
EXPRESSIONISM 1952:
Music Without a Title (Henry):
7. 5th Movement (3:15)
8. 6th Movement (2:59)
PRIMITIVE 1948:
9. Study for Whirligigs (Henry) (or is it Musical Box?) (1:53)
DRAMATIC CANTATA:
10. The Veil of Orpheus (Henry) (15:35)
THREE DIRECTIONS (Schaeffer):
11. a. Sound Effects--Railway Study (2:49)
12. b. Poetic--Pathetic Study (3:21)
13. c. A Single Sound Source (2:52)
Spike Jones is clearly audible in track 8 (chunks of "Down in Jungle
Town").

***Fun to hear Spike Jones in there..this LP was referred to in
the thread on "scratching" but could actually start a new one about
"sampling".
Hummm....how about quodlibet...
