This recording is a marginal candidate for inclusion in the Discography. It comprises only seven sides. Wolfson, who lists only complete sets and substantial abridgements from this period, does not list it. Rees lists the individual sides, but does not describe them as a set. However, Francis does list it. The numbering of the HMV issue, and the fact that the sides were recorded in the same month, strongly suggests suggests that the publisher did consider this to be a set, albeit considerably abridged.

Except for Florence Venning in "When a merry maiden marries," the allocation of the roles is undetermined. The credits only mentioned the "Sullivan Operatic Party," as was common in those days. However, Francis says that the recording sheets for "Then one of us will be a queen" and "In a contemplative fashion" credit "K. P. V. J." Given the stock artists HMV typically used, these could refer to Stanley Kirkby (Giuseppe), Ernest Pike (Marco), Florence Venning (Tessa), and Eleanor Jones-Hudson (Gianetta). Presumably, these singers also sang the other sides recorded that day.

The chorus for "When a merry maiden marries" is given as "K. P. J. D." Francis says that "D" could be Elizabeth Dews, a mezzo-soprano who would have sung the alto chorus part backing Venning. In any event, these sides were recorded during the same period as the 1907 G&T Yeomen, and it is not unlikely to have included the same artists.

Six of the seven sides were recorded on 5 February 1907, with the remaining side recorded on 18 February. They were then issued on single-sided discs in 1907-8, and later re-issued on double-sided discs. The close sequence of catalog numbers for the double-sided re-issue suggests that the Gramophone Company thought of them as a set.
