[c] Caractacus Op.35 : Triumphal March 2B4759-60

[d] Caractacus Op.35 : Woodland Interlude 2B4761

[a] Unpublished: the version on the first two takes was rejected by

the composer who wanted it “very much lighter and a slower

tempo”. To save remaking the whole side, a transfer was made

(2B4757 take 3) combining the version from 2B4761 with the

first part of “Dream Children”.
