According to John Hunt's Karajan discography there is only one VPO recording of Brahms 1, with both Decca and RCA issues, made in March 1959.

Thanks Chris and dl for your help with this;  as usual, the Stereo Treasury recording is much cleaner than the snap - crackle RCA pressing.

Dave:  I was aware that 1960 did not refer to the Stereo Treasury release, just like such a date on a CD does not refer to when the CD was released;  but the date was a clue that they were likely the same recording.
