The rear of the sleeve shows a copyright The Delta Record Co., London 
1964.  The labels are rough surface plum color much like Pye pressings.  
Isn't Delta now the name of a British CD label group?

Oh THAT no-goodnik.  That is one hell of a story!!!!

Saga pressings are like that also, if I remember correctly.

You could also say that about Richard Hale!!  I will need to compare 
this with the recordings by the woman who commissioned the work, Natalia 
Satz.  I have her in Russian on Melodiya LP and CD, and in English on a 
videotape of the 50th anniversary concert in upstate-NY.  And of course 
there is the CD by one of Prokofiev's widows. 

And I finally found a DVD of the Soviet cartoon from the 60s.  In it the 
CAT gets eaten by the wolf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  The cat had conspired with 
the wolf to get the duck, but when the duck escapes to inside the fence, 
the wolf looks over to the cat . . .  and . . .
