This is a Minty looking Classic Records 200 gram LP with Virtually No Sign of Play (VNSOP). These early pressings tend to be quieter than the later 200 gram releases. Performed by the Osipov State Russian Folk Orchestra under the direction of Vitaly Gnutov. This recording, from 1962, is one of the first recordings ever made in the Soviet Union by American Mercury technical and musical staff and equipment. These Classic Records are long out of print and highly unlikely to ever be reissued!
