ID-ing an old Sheffield record

Music Lane

It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Hello,
I'm hoping you can share some of your expertise to help me learn more about a record that strikes me as a unique and very interesting find.
The title is "Thomas Murray Plays Cesar Franck: Grande Piece Symphonique/Fantaisie in A" and it features "A Unique Romantic Instrument," The 1863 E. & G. G. Hook Organ at the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Boston.
While the familiar Sheffield Lab logo (the flower) is replaced by a gothic-looking clock tower, this album was published by Sheffield Records, P.O. Box 5332, Santa Barbara, CA (same address as the familiar Sheffield Lab). It was also produced by Lincoln Mayorga, another clue that this is the same Sheffield. The album number is Sheffield Album S-11 (ACM149STA-B) and the label is a deep burgundy color with the same clock tower logo.
The record is in Mint or Mint- condition while the jacket is probably VG+ or so, and the sound is terrific. I'd contact Sheffield directly if I could find an email address for them. Meanwhile, any help you can offer in determining the origin or value of this record will be appreciated.
For what it's worth, the only clue to the date is that the notes refer it being recorded in the spring of 1971.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you may be able to offer!
