For reference to the original RCA issue, see The Abso!ute Sound:

      Issue #75/76, page 78

[The first Reiner/CSO sessions were held on March 6, 1954 and included Heldenleben & Salome's Dance. The Zarathustra, though taped 2 days later, is often thought of as their first recording since it took the lower catalog number (LM-1806, along with Salome's Dance, as opposed to Heldenleben's LM-1807) and also since the stereo issue of August 1960 (sans Salome) represented the earliest number of any RCA LSC stereo disc. Though not dropped from Schwann until September 1963, that original issue is very, very scarce, and I suspect that the October 1962 issue of the second Reiner/CSO  Zarathustra (LSC-2609) may really have marked LSC-1806's de facto disappearance.]

This is an early Factory-Sealed (!) numbered pressing (Serial 1-3283) of the mid-1990’s Classic Records reissue, pressed on 180-gram vinyl.
