[78-L] Cartoon "Old Record" (Мульт фильм "Старая пластинка")

[Michael Biel]

Thanks for linking to this.  I have seen portions of this, but I don't
remember the whole thing. The title means Old Records. The performer was
Leonid Utesov, a singer, band leader, and film star so popular that his
career spanned from 1932 into the late 60s -- even during the Stalin
years.  The opening was one of his famous self-portraits.  He drew them
and gave them out freely when people asked for autographs.  The first
part was not necessarily a swipe at Western music because Soviet youth's
music was just as noisy!  It is just the adults hating their kid's
music.

I only occasionally browse these discussions; this may have come up
before. Responding to a discussion on people's social network postings
about their inconsequential problems led me to reference Nat Wills
which, in the roundabout way looking things up on the Internet works,
led me to this cartoon from 1982:

I suppose it was meant as late Cold War criticism of decadent Western
music, although, ironically, the pieces about inconsequential problems,
"No News" and "Tout va très bien" that led me to it (it includes the
Russian version of the latter) were pretty decadent Western music in
their own days. Does anyone know any more about this old cartoon?
