It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Hey, who are you calling ancient?

The editing on a recording really doesn't bother me - recordings are their own medium and I don't consider it cheating to use the resources of that medium. Even in the days of 78's, I understand that some artists would record each four-and-a-half minute side as many as 5 times.

But to answer your question, I believe the Audiofon label used to have a policy of single-take, non-edited releases. This was mainly piano solo repertoire. I have a number of their CD's recorded by Valentina Lisitsa which are pretty amazing, considering the technical difficulty of the repertoire and that they were single-take performances. In the Earl Wild memoirs I've just finished reading, he mentions that he made a couple of recordings for Audiofon, but that he considered their apporach to recording "too casual". A couple of the Audiofon booklet covers are shown below:
