The Tannhäuser performance of January 4, 1941 with Erich Leinsdorf 
conducting, Laurits Melchior Kirsten Flagstad et al. is - at least in 
Europe - easily available on Line Music ( http://www.linemusic.de ) Line 
5.00933. It has to be said though, that this is a set of two MP3-CDs 
containing four complete Tannhäuser performances from possibly dubious 
sources. So, if sound quality is of concern, searching the original 
MET-LPs may be the only solution (e.g. here 
http://newyork.kijiji.com/c-For-sale-Movies-music-Historic-Metropolitan-Opera-LPs-never-opened-W0QQAdIdZ67800090 
).

Best wishes,
Ulrich Sieveking
