Sorry for the delay in replying.  Several years ago there was a Westminster
reissue of the Schubert Quartets, on MCA Westminster.  I own Volumes 4 and
6.  Apparently distribution was quickly suppressed in the US.  I recently
bought the Quintet on another MCA Millenium Classics distribution, MCAD
80124, this one claiming 20-bit remastering.

If your Westminster LP's are not hopelessly scratched, hold onto them.
They have a bloom that, typically, did not survive modern attempts to
improve them.
