How did it sound?
Walter stuff from his Hollywood days feature wonderful sound from made up orchestra, stereo, a bit bass fullness, close up miking.
His 8th is famous, but I found some of it slowish, not exciting but very expressive and poetic.
I forgot, I have my uncle's copy of probably 2 eye, listened to it once, some surface noise on and off.
The very excellent Dohnanyi/Cleveland sets (7-9, and 6 plus Scherzo C, etc.) are easily obtainable on Decca CD, and I have a sealed digital LP copy. People claim they're a bit bright, but this isn't that bad and the sound is very very good.
Neumann CPO, I have a sealed copy, on Teldec.
Too much to hear it all.
