Ronald D. Cohen wrote what you called crap but actually misinterpreted
where the commas were placed.  It should be interpreted to mean Bernay
"launched Keynote Records in 1940 with the reissue of Soviet recordings,
and Six Songs for Democracy, songs of the Spanish Civil War."  Remember,
Bernay was the one who re-pressed the 39 World Fair discs when the
Soviet pressings ran out.
