<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Georgia,serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">Regarding which edition/date, the first edition was apparently published in 1669 (see, e.g.,
<a href="https://imslp.org/wiki/Apollo%27s_Banquet_(Playford%2C_John)" target="_blank">https://imslp.org/wiki/Apollo%27s_Banquet_(Playford%2C_John)</a>, and it appeared in the Arber Term catalogue of Easter term 1670. The heretofore earliest extant copy is possibly a fifth
edition in 1687 (filmed copy of National Library of Scotland available via HathiTrust). The bookseller Ken Spelman writes in his very thorough description that it couldn't have been the 1669 edition because it contains a song not included there (I don't know
how he knows, maybe there <i>is</i> an extant copy somewhere), and that the fifth edition has many more songs and tunes than in this copy. So, presumably one of the (unrecorded) 2nd, 3rd, or 4th edition.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi!<br>
<br>
I would rule out Option 1, as I think that, even if the title as transcribed in the advertisements is a faithful transcription of the title printed on the missing title page, it cannot record any mistakes or quirks on the title page.<br>
<br>
I think Option 3 is perhaps overly cautious, especially if you could confirm that a couple of the other advertised titles are close transcriptions of their title page. That rests on the others being cataloged and your having access in person or to scans; I've
not looked into how available they are. Again, I think that kind of research would mainly be warranted if you really wanted to rest easy. (I would probably end up spending a little time on this, just to set my Lawful Good brain at ease).<br>
<br>
Option 2 seems to me the most pragmatic. It seems very likely that this transcription is going to be fairly authoritative, not lease because of its lengthy specificity. That's a good amount of type to set for an inaccurate title page. And, absent the title
page, this is a good and believable title. So I think you are safe transcribing from that and adding appropriate descriptive notes.<br>
<br>
FWIW,<br>
