I also have this classic set, but my LPs are from RCA Victrola, dating
back to the early 1970s.  RCA has had some kind of ties over many years
with DHM.  Now with RCA/DHM both under the Sony umbrella, this group's
recordings are virtually nonexistent.

In the 80s, the Collegium Aureum's DHM recordings were re-released in
bits and pieces in the US on Quintessence LPs and cassettes under license.

Perhaps that's the label Donald was thinking of?
