[78-L] Belinnik rec

[Michael Biel]

Of over a thousand Soviet records I've never had this trouble.  You 
didn't give any details of what the disc is.  Is it 78 or 33?  
Microgroove?  If the latter, is it D or HD 2092-3?  From what era is the 
pressing?  (If there is a Gost number, what year is the suffix?  Is 
there a printing date on the sleeve?)    If it is on the label, what 
pressing plant? And was the innersleeve a full bag with a curved bottom, 
or was it a folded celluloid sheet?  If it is the latter, the celluloid 
sheets are often brittle.

On playing the vinyl, my stylus produced spirals (literally) of loose vinyl / rubbish which got all over the place, and messed up the cantilever. Have managed to clean the latter (I think). So have asked for another copy of the album (which is likely to be difficult). I shall have a go at cleaning it when the new RCM comes.
