I have a 2-LP DG set of Kirkpatrick playing Bach -- a compilation c. 1975.

I recall that I bought it for the Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue.  The BBC was
comparing recordings of this work on their Saturday morning programme
"Building a Library".  I remember vividly that the Kirkpatrick recording
was dismissed summarily, after playing a brief passage.  I recognised it
instantly as the only recording I wanted to listen to and went out and
bought it (the label says £ 3.50).

Also on this double album:

Prelude in C (WTCI)
Fantasia in C minor
All the Two-part Inventions
Italian Concerto
Capriccio sopra la lontananza...
Partita II

The recordings are from 1959-1952.
