Music from Spain

Census claim CONFIRMED: a US-only original — the Levee Press, Greenville, Mississippi, 1948 — with no UK or foreign-language edition preceding it. The trap is The Golden Apples (Harcourt, Brace, New York, 1949), in which the story was collected as the penultimate piece; that is the first trade-collection appearance and is often mistaken for the story's first appearance. The Levee Press printing precedes it by roughly a year and is the true first.
