Album UK on His Master's Voice label
Classical (Serial, Modern)
Sleeve, recto: laminated. Iconic "Nipper" (in colour) beneath red EMI logo (top left). Sleeve, verso: "The services of Pierre Boulez by courtesy of CBS Records Limited." Record company given as "E.M.I. Records (The Gramophone Company Ltd), Hayes, Middlesex, England." "Nipper" reappears as black-and-white image, as "Regd. Trade Mark of The Gramophone Company Ltd.: A Company of the EMI Group." Older EMI globe logo above legend "The Greatest Recording Company in the World" at top left. Label and release date: This is a reissue of Berg: Violin Concerto / Bartók: Two Rhapsodies, first released in 1969. The 1969 original release shares with other ASD issues of the time a semi-circular HMV ("Nipper") logo, in color, which occupies the upper half of an otherwise red label. On this reissue the HMV logo appears in smaller black-and-white 'postage stamp' form, and a white ring runs round the outer edge of the red label. As far as I know, these label changes did not appear on ASD releases until 1972-1973. In addition, on the 1969 release's label all rights are reserved to "The Gramophone Co. Ltd", but the reissue assigns them to "EMI Records Ltd", the name taken by the Gramophone Company from July 1973. Though the latest date given on the recording is ℗ 1969, evidence indicates the reissue's date of release cannot be earlier than 1973.
