>0483 Miller International

Dave Miller was one of the pioneers of bargain-priced LPs, who sometimes disguised his artists with pseudonyms, but who does not seem to have made false claims regarding his engagement of regular orchestras. He worked frequently with the LPO from 1958-85 but only advertised one recording with the LSO. If it was genuine, this appears to be the most likely date and venue.
