Thanks for tracking this down and fixing it. Can't blame Chaliapine for recording and cashing in on the same songs twice. That kind of stuff was common practice in the 1920s anyway; I'm thinking about Irving Kaufman and Arthur Fields, but dozens of other examples could be named.
Looks like Chaliapin recorded this twice, once for HMV and once for Victor, and presumably collected the fees twice :). So I've unlinked the two recordings, and updated this one.
