EMI / Angel red label mono classical pressings (cover variations)

Posted by peresmeshnik (A) on August 29, 2020 at 19:15:55

To anyone who knows the chronological history of EMI / Angel classical mono issues:

I'm trying to determine the pressing year of an Angel red label mono LP I recently acquired (Prokofiev cello concerto, Starker/Susskind/Philharmonia) which ran through several pressings. Mine is an English pressing that has a plain brown cover with the title info printed on a gold label that extends laterally from one side of the front cover onto the back cover. Other pressings of this same title I've seen online have the same red Angel label on the vinyl, but have different covers: one similar but plain *blue* (not brown); and another with a photo of Starker and his cello on the front and the liner notes affixed to the back cover. I'm trying to figure out whether my pressing is *earlier* or *later* than other pressings with the same red LP label but different covers. I'm assuming that the plain-brown-cover Angels were earlier than the decorated covers holding the same red label vinyl, but I'm not sure.

Such is the burning question that occupies my mind at the height of apocalyptic world pestilence...
