That's probably the mono recording from the early LPs in the mid-50s.  
The Ivanov is from around 1963 in stereo, although I have a note that it 
was also issued in mono as D 15527.  I can't get to my Soviet catalog 
that might list them both.  I'm not allowed to move piles or boxes 
around.  This was only my second trip to the basement since my 
operation, and luckily the LPs were on a shelf right by the stairs.  I 
couldn't get to the 78 versions and was relying on WERM.
