Peter Bruce -1956

The next known recording of a lyrebird was made by Peter Bruce. This disc was issued in 1956 under the Columbia label.

It was a 7" disc played at 45 rpm with the lyrebird recording being made by Peter Bruce who also provides the accompanying narrative, although his commentary was actually written by David Corke. Further details of how and where it was recorded are not available as far as I know.
