The great French conductor Andre Cluytens recorded chiefly for EMI. As well as French EMI labels, he can be found on 33CX and SAX, on ASD and SAN and SXLP. His renowned Beethoven Symphony cycle was recorded with the Berlin Philharmonic, though most of his recordings were with French orchestras. It can be hard to tell which English issues of the Beethoven Symphonies are the original English issues, so I have compiled this list:
Symphony 1: 1969, first UK issue is SXLP 20109, re-issued in 1972 on CFP 187
Symphony 2: 1972 first UK issue is CFP 193
Symphony 3: 1972 first UK issue is CFP 203
Symphony 4: 1968 first UK issue is SXLP 30098, re-issued in 1973 on CFP 40001
Symphony 5: 1959 first UK issue is ASD 267 & ALP 1657, re-issued in 1972 on CFP 40007 (with no 8)
Symphony 6: 1960 first UK issue is ASD 433 & ALP 1863, re-issued in 1973 on CFP 40017, there's also an earlier mono only recording in 1957: ALP 1408
Symphony 7: 1958 first UK issue was mono-only, on ALP 1576, in 1973 the stereo was issued on CFP 40018
