'''''A Selection from the Passion of our Lord according to St. Luke''''' is an English translation of the St. Luke Passion<ref>https://natlib.govt.nz/records/21618744?search%5Bi%5D%5Bcategory%5D=Music+Score&search%5Bil%5D%5Busage%5D=All+rights+reserved&search%5Bpath%5D=items&search%5Btext%5D=Priest+<ref> performed by an unknown choir in the 1960s. The recording was sampled by '''The Caretaker''' ''(Leyland Kirby)'' in various albums, though it is most notably used in his song [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Me4xztuibWI Friends past reunited] from the 2002 album ''A stairway to the stars.'' Several other tracks from the recording can be seen throughout The Caretaker's discography, most famously in the finale of The Caretaker's magnum opus, Everywhere at the end of time. | |||
The record itself is known to be pressed by Eroica Recording Services Ltd., a company who made private recordings in England in the 50s and 60s. Due to the nature of how it was recorded and when, the recording has become very rare, and records pressed by Eroica have been seen as highly valuable to some record collectors as far back as the 90s. | The record itself is known to be pressed by Eroica Recording Services Ltd., a company who made private recordings in England in the 50s and 60s.

It was known to have been purchased from a record store known as ''The 78 Exchange'', a now closed record store where Kirby sourced many records for which he used in his music under the Caretaker moniker. Another notable lost record was also purchased from the same store. Dubbed the 'organ record', it is used throughout The Caretaker's discography, and is sampled in full in the album Deleted scenes, forgotten dreams, similarly to the St. Luke Passion recording. | It was known to have been purchased from a record store known as ''The 78 Record Exchange'', a now closed record store where Kirby sourced many records for which he used in his music under the Caretaker moniker.

The organ record, unlike the Passion, contains several songs by different composers, however most of them tend to follow one piece (i.e. Sea Pieces by Edward MacDowell, Suite Gothique by Leon Boellman) | ||

False Identifications
The melody to the ending of Friends past, re-united has been falsely identified as "Lord, let me know mine end" by Maurice Greene,[1] and was thought to be a recording by the Lichfield Cathedral Choir.
Another false identification is the Milford Parish Church recording of St. Luke Passion from April 8, 1966. Although there are many similarities between the two recordings, they are not from the same church, nor the same recording company. Although the original recording still remains at large, the Milford Parish recording is the closest thing available.
The record was also at one point incorrectly assumed to be performed by the Guildford Cathedral Choir. This lead was supported by the similar personnel in the Guildford and Milford choir, however it was closed mid 2022 as it was proven the Guildford Cathedral did not have the Passion in their repertoire.
