musical puzzler

[calimac]

This is a puzzler, not a genuine question. (The source gave the answer.) Anyway, I found it amusing. Behold:



This recording's cover says it's of Brahms's Symphony No. 8.

Your turn to figure it out: Is it? And, if not, what is it really?

Oh boy!

It's an illustration of the universal need to have subject matter experts involved at every stage of producing records and printed matter.

The recording inside the sleeve or jewel box is not Brahms's 8th, which doesn't exist.

I presume that it is BRUCKNER's 8th.

I'm taking the Fifth.

I should have guessed before reading the comments, but my guess would have been that it's not Brahms' 8th. Not based on any knowledge of Brahms, but because you were asking the question.
