93!

I am currently re-reading Stephen Skinner's Magical Diaries of Aleister Crowley and find the following quite interesting passage:

AC is describing an elaborate vision on July 6, 1923: "... I bent my head to examine this & was then aware of an attachment to the blade just above the guard, a very small gramophone made of some substance like brown leather. It began to speak & I recognized that it was speaking a record which I had once made - an adaption of the decalogue to the Law of Thelema. The first was 'Thou shalt have none other Gods but thyself, [...] the second being 'Thou shalt love thy neighbour as being thyself (and all equally alike)..."

read more here: http://books.google.de/books?id=iw4BG8TVzQUC&pg=PA80&lpg=PA80&dq=thelemic+decalogue&source=bl&ots=ZJh8eh2HFh&sig=kdmo0UeCwjYyeqUApHK3iW3ey3g&hl=de&ei=KYliTdvVPMPOswbSvPC1CA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CEMQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=thelemic%20decalogue&f=false

This gives rise to two imho interesting questions:

1) Is anyone aware of AC recordings (of the Thelemic Decalogue or otherwise) prior to 1923? (English is not my native language but the passage doesn't sound like he's talking about a past event inside his vision, or does it?)

2) Is anyone aware of a complete version of the Thelemic Decalogue somewhere?

Thanks to all in advance.

Love=Law
