This was "borrowed" from the amazon.com website:

   Ives: 3 Places in New England, Country Band March, etc
   Availability: This title usually ships within 2-3 days.
   Composer: Charles Ives
   Conductor: James Sinclair
   Orchestra: Orchestra of New England
   Koch International Classics - #7025 / September 27, 1990
   ASIN: B000001SDH

I believe the title on the slipcase is "Orchestral Music of Charles Ives
vol.  1".  There was never a volume two.  Also the artist credit should
properly read "Orchestra New England".  But it does contain "Yale/Princeton
Football Game" in all it's boisterous glory.  AFAIK, the work was never
recorded on vinyl.  Part of it was included in the soundtrack of a film
about Ives' life for PBS called "A Good Dissonance Like A Man" (ca.  1975).
It was nicely synched with some vintage black & white football footage.
Ives' musical interpretation of "wedge formations" is really something
to hear.
