Filled Release, 9 Tracks (MusicBrainz), Specifications and Credits (Discogs), two edition observations (US, EU), Markets (US, EU from the catalogue entries) and relations to existing stubs: Deutsche Grammophon (marketed_by, verified), UMG Recordings (manufactured_by / marketed_by, US) and Universal Music & Video Distribution (distributed_by, US). New family stub for the recording across its Discogs versions. Gaps recorded: no GS1 registrant source, country_of_origin left blank (US and EU pressings share the barcode), 2001 vs DG's 2009 date, retailer pages unfetchable (Amazon 500, Presto 403). Cover requested via musicbrainz_images.. Current is v2.

## Research gaps <!--research_gaps-->
| observation | domain | state | detail | source |
| ----------- | ------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------- |
| | identity | disputed | Release date: Discogs and MusicBrainz give 2001 (© 2001 on the inlay); the Deutsche Grammophon catalogue page shows 15 October 2009, probably its digital date. The Release field keeps the year. | ^dg |
| cd-us-2001 | identity | unknown | Discogs lists a US club edition with the same catalogue number made for BMG Direct under licence; it carries club number D 141374 and no UPC is transcribed, so it is not treated as this article. | ^discogs-club |
| | identity | unknown | country_of_origin is left blank: one barcode covers a US pressing (made in USA by UML) and a European one ("Made in the E. U."); which a given copy is depends on the pressing. | |
| | relationships | unknown | No source names the licensee of GS1 company prefix 0028947; no gs1_prefix_owner edge is recorded. | |
| cd-eu-2001 | relationships | unknown | The pressing plant and distributor of the European pressing are not transcribed on Discogs. | ^discogs-eu |
| | markets | stale | Market evidence is the catalogue entries for the 2001 pressings; no retailer listing printing this barcode could be fetched (Amazon.com and Amazon.ca ASIN B00005OLDP answered HTTP 500 to the server, Presto Music 403). | |

## About <!--about-->
A single-CD reissue on the Westminster label of Hermann Scherchen's 1958 stereo recordings of Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 in E flat, Op. 55 "Eroica", and Symphony No. 6 in F, Op. 68 "Pastorale", with the Vienna State Opera Orchestra.[^mb] Both were recorded in the Mozartsaal of the Vienna Konzerthaus, the Eroica in May and the Pastorale in July 1958, and remastered with Original-Image Bit-Processing for Deutsche Grammophon's 2001 "Westminster The Legacy" series; the US discs were made by UML for Universal Classics Group.[^discogs-us] The same barcode appears on a European pressing,[^discogs-eu] and Deutsche Grammophon still lists the album under this UPC.[^dg]
Scherchen's Westminster recordings included Beethoven among much else.[^wp-scherchen] The Westminster catalogue passed to MCA in 1979 and is now managed by Deutsche Grammophon.[^wp-westminster] The old Barcodepedia listed this barcode in 2007 as "Scherchen Hermann / VSO – Symphonies Nos. 3 & 6", from upcdatabase.com.[^old-bp]
