    That's the sexist VW ad I think I ever saw. I want a poster of that.

      Good news, bad news.
      You inspired me to get you a birthday present.
      But this album, https://www.discogs.com/Wagner-S%C3%BCddeutsche-Philharmonie-Conducted-By-Hans-Swarovsky-Die-Walk%C3%BCre-Complete-Opera/release/6144634 by the Westminster Gold produciton company, is not for sale on anything online at all.
      Serious.
      I looked on Google shopping, Amazon, and Ebay.
      You can look up the image online, and see that there are only two examples of the cover even existing online.
      so, I tried, but they simply aren't online to buy. Sorry.
      however, this record company had one crazy art manager, it's only classical, but I tell you what, I want to collect the whole damn set ans stage an art gallery exhibit, I shit you not.
      google image search "westminster gold album covers" any get a kick out of 1972 in your face!

      or, here's a fast way to see them, some blog posted the series. It's worth the time to look, I promise
