 Thanks for that link Phil...

If they started issuing in September 63, and continued until sometime in 65, then there can't be that many to get... very get-able... very collect-able :)

Early-mid sixties stereo Eurodisc recordings on lovely Oriole vinyl in flip-back sleeves... I'm sold!

 Oriole's deal with Eurodisc started in 1963; see Billboard for July 6th of that year. This seems to be the only relevant article in Billboard archives within Google Books.

 -Update-

Let me revise that slightly...

...I've found an Oriole Eurodisc (stereo) on ebay from 1963 - which is the earliest I've seen so far - (It's a Bach recording with a Berlin Orchestra).

 If there's a label Yoda about for Oriole, could they please advise regarding these discs?

...These things have been bugging me... As to why Oriole and Eurodisc only collaborated for such a brief spell (little over a year across 1964-65 by my reckoning), and having briefly donned my dear-stalker and pipe, I enquired a little online...

...It seems, from what I've discovered, that Oriole was bought by Columbia (U.S) in the UK in 64, to distribute it's records here, but under the label name CBS, and that CBS then stopped using the Oriole name altogether in 65, opting instead to just release as CBS (probably the orange labels (?).

So this tie in would seem to have occurred at the very end of the Oriole label / brand's life.

But I can't find anything to suggest that Columbia (U.S) / CBS had any arrangement with Eurodisc after that date to release their recordings in the UK, and prior to 1964 the only results I get for Eurodisc are German pressed - at best imported into the UK.

So my current thinking is that Eurodisc made this arrangement with Oriole to release records in UK from 1964 onwards, but the almost immediate purchase by Columbia (U.S) to be changed to CBS in 65 ceither casued Eurodisc to back out of the deal altogether and look elsewhere (or perhaps just continue exporting to UK from European plants), or this change had the effect of nullifying the deal they made (?)

Unless of course, anyone knows if Columbia (U.S) / CBS had any arrangement / deal of their own with Eurodisc post 65?

 What are the odds that I'd find another Oriole Eurodisc so quickly?!!!

(Maybe they were always there, but I just didn't know what I was looking at before, and passed over them)

... And I have a horrible feeling they are going to be another "thing" that I will have fallen into collecting... and will be driven mad eventually trying to get them all (Like Pokemons or something :).

On the plus side of this, is that they seem only to have been a joint enterprise for a very short period of time, so there can't be that many to get, and as far as I'm aware, noody else really rates them at the mo, so I won't have to be bidding bucks for them, or looking in the record bins for things that move in exalted circles of the upper echelons (always wanted to use that word!) of Classical collecting.

But they really are the most impressive vinyls and recordings from what I've heard so far... certainly knocking on the door of the Columbias, HMVs and Deccas.
