It might refer to an audiophile LP original which was recorded 'direct to disc', i.e. without intervening audio tape master(s): http://www.auldworks.com/AESDD/dd1.htm

wehecht said: ...Exton's indecipherable explanation
Hmm, another attempt to achieve RWetmore's "truly transparent digital audio system ... that requires no filtering"? No doubt it sounds fantastic, but at $190.00, I think I'll content myself with Shostakovich: Symphony No. 5 - RPO/Mackerras (which has nicer cover art...).

The Decca recording has the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Exton the Philharmonia.
You're right. I was confused by the existence of a Universal release, by Deutsche Grammphon on the "Universal Classics" label, which uses the same recording found on the Decca. I have the Decca recording (which I've always liked actually, despite the poor estimation with which it is held by some critics).
