Ah!  I knew it was 1969, but for your sake - and I happends to know that
you are very interested in Eroicas - I checked my recordings (I have it
both on cassette and CD), and fore my eyes there is written:  Beethoven
3, Berliner Philarmoniker/Herbert von Karajan, Berlin, 22 September 1969.

Of course it is possible it is a printing mistake, but I hardly belive that
as there is the same data on the cd and the tape.
