ziggy_n 23rd Jun 2017		Jazz-ban in USSR lasted from 1948 to 1956. Red label reissue is from 1956-57, when many pre- and afterwar titles were repressed from preserved old matrixes and sold well. In the 1930s, foreign recordings were unconscionably pirated, of course, but they were available and sold in hundreds of thousands. "Thanks" to war, isolation and jazz-ban, many of those 20s-30s tunes were still popular and widely loved in USSR until the end of the 1950s.



TheJudge 19th Dec 2013		Given that it was issued by the State-owned label, it's far more likely that ownership was compulsory!



Orbiting Cat 18th Dec 2013		Seems crazy that this stuff was being issued immediately after the Great Purge. A brave man who would have bought it.



xiphophilos 14th Dec 2013		Another Youtube video of "Daybreak Express" to replace the broken link in nicoldo64's comment:



xiphophilos 14th Dec 2013		Both takes were recorded in Chicago, December 4, 1933. RCA-Victor recording session at the Merchandise Mart. Duke Ellington & His Orchestra: Louis Bacon, Freddy Jenkins, Arthur Whetsel, Cootie Williams, t; Lawrence Brown, Joe Nanton, tb; Barney Bigard, cl, ts; Johnny Hodges, as, ss; Otto Hardwick, as, cl, bsx; Harry Carney, bs, cl, as: Duke Ellington, p; Fred Guy, g; Wellman Braud, b; Sonny Greer, d. B Side ("Dear Old Southland"): Vocal by Louis Bacon. Ellington makes what could be simply a schmaltzy song halfway palatable. ;-)



xiphophilos 14th Dec 2013		Thanks for the translation! I don't speak Russian, but I noticed that the Russian titles were too short to be an exact translation of the English titles. Now we know why.



Jock_Girl 13th Dec 2013		Label name on the green ones translates roughly as Aprelevka Plant Records. Titles translated simply as Express and In the South



xiphophilos 13th Dec 2013		Great to see a USSR pressing of Duke Ellington from that time here! Thanks for putting it in!



TheJudge 14th Jul 2013		Seeing no reason not to, green label A-side unhidden.



nicoldo64 14th Jul 2013		Added reissue



TheJudge 14th Jul 2013		Now also removed Cyrillic for 'Foxtrot'. raowood, why is the A-side scan hidden?



lorangrecords 14th Jul 2013		Moved the txt (Fox-Trot) to the notes. Does not belong to the titles.
