Another Record Club from the end of the 50s. Deutsche Schallplatten-gemeinschaft from Darmstadt.
They were launched in 1956 by the Deutsche Buch-Gemeinschaft (DBG) which itself was launched in 1924 in Berlin and after the war, 1951, moved to Darmstadt. In 1970 book club DBG - DSG was long gone by then - sold 50% of their shares to Bertelsmann, who gained complete ownership in 1988.
The labels were labeled as "Impression" with an extra line "DSG Deutsche Schallplatten-gemeinschaft", but design and logo were also used on a label "Orpheus", without the extra DSG line.
 Labels would occasionally include Deutsche Buch-Gemeinschaft logo or include an EMI/Columbia dual imprint.
