Doesn't the Testament reissue contain both his mono and stereo recordings?

I have the stereo on a  EMI France set, probably long deleted. Great
performance and even more extraorindarily it was, IIRC, recorded in a
single session, which Markevitch had left over after finishing something
else (anyone know what?) early.

Anyone else heard the Marco Polo discs of Markevitch's own music BTW?
