Hate to break it to you, but that figure was from a Boston Symphony release
a couple years back (I can't remember which one).... NEWLY RECORDED.

This is why labels are going to reissues of the standards by well know
orchestras/conductors. If it only costs you a few grand for production
costs, you have saved huge sums of money.

Yes, It's sad but true.
