I've just dug out my Landon Ronald Beethoven 5, will give it a spin later. Cat no is D665, I don't have the posh album pictured above. From the catalogue number I'm guessing this is the earlier pre-electric version?
That will be the 1922 acoustic recording made at Hayes rather than Kingsway Hall where the 1926 performance was captured. It is very similar in conception, though cannot compete sonically with the later recording.
I have two discs from the 1926 set, but they are damaged beyond playable, and one must wander what happened to the missing discs!
Best wishes from George
PS: I am loving this thread! It was started to consider a modest second hand turnable, and has turned into something much more interesting for me!
