I have a few 12" red label MWs .. dubbed from Telefunkens, as were many of 
Obie's classical issues. I think they even credit the conductors, Erich Kleiber 
or Leo Blech.

Oberstein masters turn up on all sorts of other labels, and some of them are 
just straight master pressings from Victor and Columbia. I have a Frankie Carle 
album issued anonymously and a collection of marches ex HMV, both sold in 
Firestone Tire Stores on the Philharmonic label..all master pressings.
