while the others are 1961, I believe. I love that set and grew up listening to them as a teen. We have most of the set in family's collection. Blue Epics. Still considered very highly.I picked up a noisy but Goldmine visually vg plus looking gold Epic LP (mono one) Emperor at a local used record vendor (his first classical LP ever, he's a rock guy). Then a mint gold stereo came up on ebay auction and I won it (incl. Walter's Beethoven 4/5-scratched, Brahms 1st symphony and Beethoven 4/Mozart 25 with Szell/Clev. and Casals and others on Archduke Philips black label--99 cents ea plus bundled shipping). The Walter disc is worn and scratched (6 eye), the PC 4/25 is a bit dull sounding and somewhat worn, but surfaces are ok, and the Emperor and Brahms are great sounding and VG surface wise. There is a subtle grit on these albums which might come off with (uh, oh) Spray and Wash.
