This would have to be the mono version issued in 1954, as the stereo
Serkin/Szell did not come out until 1967 or 1968.  There was, of course,
a 1961 stereo Serkin/Ormandy version.  If you acquired yours new in 1965
or 66 it would be unusual; by then mono recordings with stereo remakes by
the same company were usually out of print.
