Comparison with similar releases:

Janos Starker, Kodaly* - Sonata For Unaccompanied Cello Opus.8
is nearly identical (SPL on rear, not SPLP) for jacket images and LP images, but lists tracks incorrectly (as in images). Several other minor discrepancies as documented in comparison with this in-hand copy.

Janos Starker, Kodaly* - Sonata For Unaccompanied Cello Opus.8
may be identical. Only label images, which match this release. Correct track-listing, but has only very basic documentation.

Kodaly*, Janos Starker, Arnold Eidus - Kodaly: Sonata For Solo Cello (Starker) & Duo For Violin And Cello (Eidus and Starker)
is a different release, claiming two compositions entirely on one side each. Labels are a different design but state content as for THIS release, directly contradicting the claims derived from its jacket. The error cannot be untangled as documented here.
