SLPEM

Posted by: Ralf2013 on 16 June 2014

Hello,
at a garage sale I bought "Also sprach Zarathustra" on vinyl from Deutsche Grammophon. The Cover shows catalogue number 136 001 SLPEM. Is somebody out there who knows what meaning this acronym has?
Thanks in advance

Ralf

I can solve the half of the riddle.

SLP=Stereo LP

Not sure what EM stands for tho.

The "E" in the catalogue number may indicate that the performer's name is shown in English.

This is a very interesting website. In the end I couldn't find the solution. Seemingly "E" stands not for "English" as my Cover is written in German: "Berliner Philharmoniker . Dirigent: Karl Böhm" and at the website I could see similar examples.
