Not entirely.  Steinberg had a few good ones (Planets, Mathis der Mahler).
Leinsdorf did some nice Prokofiev and some other things.  I'm figuring
by "early LP" you mean mainly Munch, and I'm thinking Steinberg and
(especially) Leinsdorf are middle LP.  Early-middle?

Anyway, beyond that little nit, you won't get any argument from me.
