Not really a quality part two and not really all Russian records. The one I forgot to post yesterday was a cool generic cover from Supraphon (which I think is from Czechoslovakia), there’s also an Israeli 7″ of what looks like a french dance hit (with dance steps for the kids) [click on image to enlarge]

These are from a bunch of 7″ records I picked up awhile ago. They are from the Russian Melodiya label. The majority of them are generic and one sided. I think most of them are from the late sixties. Thanks to Rika for help in translation. [click on image to enlarge]
STEREO. The word in lower case translates to “Estrada” which is loosely defined as “variety”.
front “Edith Piaf Sings”
back. The type seems to be letter press

some translation: “Russian native music”, “Music of the nation of the USSR”, “Dances international estrada (variety)”

There are thousands of really terrible band photos on albums but there’s not as many terrible band sketches on albums. This is one of the worst (BEST!) I’ve ever seen. This album came out on Springboard records. Who were a really terrible, bottom of the barrel reissue label. The Guess Who, were to the best of my knowledge five men. This sketch which adorns the back cover was done by Suzanne Kisslan and it looks like she thought the band consisted of four women and a coconut made up to look like a man’s head. Dan at work thought it looked like an old wizard and his wife with their three daughters. Anyway you look at it, it’s stunning

While going through an LP collection we recently got in at work, I found a great hand made cover for what I think is part of a Jimi Hendrix box set on Barclay Records
