Chris,
Checked thru my 120 Richter CD's and there are 9 BBC Legends releases. The Beethoven, Schumann and Chopin pieces all come from BBCL 4090-2
The Chopin, Beethoven and Schumann is from a Royal Festival Hall recital in 1968
The debussy is on BBCL 4103-2 and was from a recital at Goldsmiths Hall, London in 1968

It's strange that the CD insert identifies the date of the concert as May 11, 1969. I checked that against the Trovar Richter chonology list, and the claimed May 1969 date has to be wrong, since, according to the chronology, Richter was only in Moscow and Turin during that month and year. According to the chronology, you are correct with the year of the performance being 1968 (October 20, to be exact). It's amazing that the BBC got the performance date of their own CD wrong!
One other interesting thing is that the chronology showed all four works on the same concert at Royal Festival Hall, including the Debussy, and that the "missing" work from the CD is the Beethoven Prometheus Variations, Op. 35. I'm sure you know about this site already, but I'm including the link to it for anyone else who is interested:
I'll have to check. Not sure. I know there have been several BBC Richter releases
