fixbutte 18th Apr 2018		Everything looks fine here now. Supporting xiphophilos' guess of the release year, I have Google-translated the third paragraph of the Russian article linked below: In 1937 he organized his jazz orchestra (the Leningrad Jazz Orchestra conducted by Alexey Semenov), which became one of the best in Leningrad. He toured extensively with it in the USSR, recorded on records. Since 1938 all the author's concerts have been held with this orchestra I. O. Dunaevsky in Leningrad, many performances by K. I. Shulzhenko. From 1940 he remained only the musical director of this musical collective. In the Great Patriotic War he participated in numerous concerts at the front and in the blocked Leningrad.
78-Ron 18th Apr 2018		Side A is "Hawaiian Waltz", not "Song of the Islands"
fixbutte 18th Apr 2018		So I can outline my research: Side A: обр. И. дунаевского - [i.e. arranged by Isaak Dunayevsky] Side B: обр. А. Семенова [i.e. arranged by Alexey Semenov]
fixbutte 18th Apr 2018		Hi tkonst, in case you want to add the composers' names here: Can you please write down what's on the second lines under the song titles? For my eyes it looks as if Любимая Мелодия (Side B) repeats the name of the orchestra leader (А. Семенова). Гавайский Вальс (Side A) lists another name but definitely not Charles E. King. My own transcription results in И. дунаевского which Google translates as "I. Dunaevsky" - which seems to make sense after all: Isaak Dunayevsky I also found what the first three letters mean: обр. stands for "arr." i.e. arranged.

fixbutte 18th Apr 2018		Actually I didn't know that there was any jazz in the Soviet Union, but it seems so. Semenov (other Latin transcriptions may exist) was apparently a jazz trumpeter, and here is a Russian article about him, with photographs of him and his tombstone, both with a trumpet: Семенов Алексей Владимирович (1910 – 1980)
xiphophilos 17th Apr 2018		The "а "at the end of Alexey Semenov's last name in Russian is the ending of the Russian genitive case. There is a lot, though, that I don't yet understand about these records. I looked at https://www.russian-records.com, and it seems as if numbers with a ГРК-prefix are "censorial numbers", so probably assigned when a censor had approved a record as politically not suspect. The catalog numbers seem to be different for each record. Is that because they are the same as the matrix numbers? Shouldn't we consider the Г or B prefixes before these numbers part of the catalog number? For now, I've added them where they were missing. Finally, if the label history on Discogs is correct, Noginsk Zabod was evacuated and renamed Tashkentsky Zabod in 1941. If that's the case, this record can't have been released in 1948. Nearby catalog numbers indicate a release date of 1938 instead.
fixbutte 17th Apr 2018		With the help of Google translations I also dare to claim that Джаз-Оркестр Под Управлением Алексея Владимировича Семенова means: Jazz-Orchestra Directed by Alexey Vladimirovich Semenov (apparently a male, not a female). I guess the still missing lines on the labels after the song titles are the composers, i.e. the director for the B-side.
fixbutte 17th Apr 2018		Parts of the Cyrillic transcription by tkonst added to the record instead of the originally entered Latin letters, including the featured artist who seems to be female because of the name ending. Missing parts seem to name the orchestra (I don't speak Russian), which I have omitted for the moment for reasons of clarity. Maybe someone can help to fill the gaps. I can also see that the literal translation of the A-side title (Гавайский Вальс) is Hawaiian Waltz and that the B-side is a Foxtrot (фокстрот), and Google translations tell me that Любимая Мелодия, the B-side title, means Favorite Melody.
