[78-L] Russian LP issue dates..discrepancy

[Kristjan Saag]

While Dr Biel is absent...

This discrepancy may have to do with the fact that pre 1964 LP:s were 
not Melodyias at all. The company was founded in 1964 and the previous 
Soviet LP issues were on "labels" like The Leningrad Factory or Ancora. 
Melodyia apparently reissued some of the stuff under its own label, but 
that makes recording dates uncertain.
The confusion is mentioned here:

...after which I'd say the Bennett/ Rockdisco discography for the early 
dates look more reliable than PNP. From 1964 the dates are identical for 
Rockdisco/ PNP.

P S What about those Bob Mitchell discs? Found any?
