First, Sixten Ehrling on BIS with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra (1988) with a good Symphony of Psalms. I heard Ehrling perform the Rite on at least two occasions while he was leading the Detroit Symphony in the late '60s. It was one of his specialties.
The second is the first Rite that I owned as a young lad. It was a Christmas gift that caused some concern back in the early '60s. Ansermet and the L'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande on London. Although the performance was great, the cover was even more memorable. Later LP releases were more modest, covering up the exposed breast.
