The Pro-Arte's release of Leonhardt's recordings was from the early to mid 80's.

Probably no recordings which were not released by other firms, or ...?

Nothing in life remains exclusive forever, especially in the commercial space.

My understanding is this set is one of the most highly regarded Dvorak Symphonies.  I have not played this set in at least ten years ...

I own that box too. You can see the spine (orange and white) in the upper right of my first picture. To its immediate left is the Kertész box of Dvorak symphonies, and beside that (dark red spine) Rowicki's.

Here is one of the early day Chopin LP's by Martha Argerich ...

Here's the Wagner 2-LP set by Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra I never seem to be able to find on CD ...

I love the way you can look at a wall of LPs and always recognize the Deutsche Grammophons.

Just a few of the pile:

Has Karl Korte's Remembrances; a great piece, one of the transcendental moments of my early encounters with modern classical/electronic music.

My first experience with Xenakis and Penderecki; I'd never heard anything like it.

My first Honegger, and a real fine one; I'd heard Varese and Milhaud before, but not those pieces.

Rudin has been trying to get this thing released on CD for years; he was very dissatisfied with the mix on this album, but so far it's all we've got.

I have never seen this Vivaldi's Four Seasons by Trevor Pinnock LP cover.  I do not recall if the CD had the same cover and have not played the CD in years.

The CD booklet is silver and doesn't have his photo on it.

Here is the ONLY Mahler recording I have on LP ...

Did not know it was available on CD, but shall look for it.

I guess having that picture of Pinnock on the CD cover would date it (him) too much. This was recorded in Henry Wood Hall, October 20-23, 1981. Below a more recent picture of Pinnock.

I believe that LP was probably released in the late 70's to early 80's.  That original recording was later remastered to CD ...

It was recorded in 1981 and released in 1982. Clive Barda also took the picture on the LP cover. There may be a 70s recording of which I'm not aware. BTW, this is also a digital recording.

I attended a concert given by the English Concert and Trevor Pinnock at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC in the summer of 86.  The program was mostly baroque works.  While Trevor Pinncok conducted from the harpsichord, he came up to the front of the ensemble to provide a brief introduction at the beginning of each work the group was about to perform, which was super cool in my opinion.

Sounds like a truly memorable experience! 

Pinnock's down-to-earth demeanor, IMO, always surprisingly belies his talents. He also happens to share his birthday with Beethoven.

The concert with Trevor Pinnock and the English Concert I attended in that summer evening in 1986 was truly a memorable experience. 

I also attended the performance of Israel in Egypt conducted by John Eliot Gardiner/English Baroque Soloists/Monteverdi Choir in the early 80's at Lincoln Center in NYC.  That was a very memorable concert as well.

Christopher Hogwood and the Academy of Ancient Music was the only one of the three English ensembles instrumental in firmly establishing HIP as the mainstream that I did not have the opportunity to attend a single concert with, though I taped one of its concerts given at the Library of Congress and digitized it on the computer only a few months ago.  The concert still sounds great after twenty some years ...

I will give this CD a spin.  For some reasons, I prefer the one by Christopher Hogwood and the AAM over this version.
