DG  GERMANY 1958 - 1967     TULIP RIM LABELS    *ALLE HERSTELLER      MADE IN GERMANY    14 LP SET    GATEFOLD SLEEVES      NM vinyl / EX+ sleeves

A remarkably rare complete set of original pressings. The first three issues -  symphonies 5 / 8 / 9 - have Alle Hersteller text on the labels, with the red logo on the earliest issue (138 918-9). The other six symphonies have Made in Germany and tulip rim labels

NB   Symphony No. 5, the first to be recorded, was originally issued on SLPM 138 004 / 138 005** on 3 sides, with music from Wagner's Parsifal occupying side 4. Re-issued here in a gatefold sleeve with similar artwork to the other issues in the series, this recording was recut onto 4 sides and has better sound than the original.
