Hello.

I found the LYS 580/83 4-disc set listed on Amazon UK:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00003CK7J/

Beethoven - Syms Nos 5, 8 & 9; Missa Solemnis; Triple Concerto [BOX SET]  
Composer: Ludwig van Beethoven
Conductor: Arturo Toscanini
Performer: Rosa Tentoni, Rose Bampton, et al.
Orchestra: New York Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra, Schola Cantorum
Label: Lys
Catalogue Number: LYS580583 
Audio CD A-D
Number of Discs:4
ASIN: B00003CK7J 


Now, the item is out of stock at Amazon UK, but I checked Amazon's
"ASIN" number for the item (B00003CK7J) on Amazon France & Amazon
Germany, and the set is currently available for purchase on those
sites:

Amazon France - 28 Euros  
http://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00003CK7J/
Amazon Germany - From 35.99 Euros
http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00003CK7J/

[ Note that Amazon Germany lists the item as being on the "Dante"
label.  "Dante" and "Lys" were the same label.  This is mentioned in
numerous sources, including this newsgroup message:
"...They are also in (Dante) Lys 580-583."

If you have an account at Amazon.com, you can sign in at Amazon.fr or Amazon.de
using your same email address & password.

Amazon.fr is in French, but the web site works exactly like Amazon.com
if you're familiar with that.  Amazon.fr has  English instructions at:
Amazon.fr > Help in English  >  How to Order

Amazon.de has English instructions at:

DEAR GOOGLE ANSWERS TEAM,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXCELLENT SEARCH HELP.  I WAS ABLE TO PURCHASE A 
RECORDING OF A RADIO BROADCAST OF BEETHOVEN'S 9TH SYMPHONY MADE BY 
TOSCANINI AND THE NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA FROM CARNEGIE HALL IN 
1936.  THE RADIO ANNOUNCER AT THE BEGINNING OF THE BROADCAST CITED THE 
NAME OF MY LATE STEP-MOTHER, ROSA TENTONI, AS THE PRINCIPAL SOPRANO 
SOLOIST IN THE THIRD MOVEMENT.  THE TWENTY DOLLARS YOU CHARGED WAS WELL 
WORTH THE RESULTS. IF YOU STEER ME TO YOUR RATING FORM, I WILL GLADLY RANK
YOUR EFFORT AS SUPERB!
