The only recording known is the one that Harvey Philips made.

THIS IS MY ADVICE:

Don't listen to anyone's recording. Because of how this piece is written, it works far better if you sit down and figure it out for yourself. By listening to someone elses recording your just going to get an idea of what they did. Your not going to have a truly original take of this piece. The way that this piece is written, your interpretation is better than replicating what someone else has tried.

BUT IF YOU MUST:

Unless you know someone with that LP you won't be able to get it. I know that a lot of Harvey's LP's are getting re-released on CD sometime soon. My advice on getting a recording if they do this at your school; Go to where ever they keep recordings of senior recitals, and get a copy that way. I had a friend that played it for his senior recital I was able to get a copy that way.
