David Oistrakh, Mstislav Rostropovich, Sviatoslav Richter With Herbert Von Karajan And The Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra: Beethoven: Triple Concerto   Comment by Magic Marmalade

Given the date of 1970 (and what with the label design change to "poatage stamp" logo occuring around 1968-9), I believe my copy to be the first variety of label for this title, with the colourised postage stamp logos...

...my matrices (plate numbers) for Sdies 1 and 2...
