gregs45s SUBS 28th Sep 2023		@Philmh Hi, yes, the UK one is here, although that was Melodiya / His Master's Voice. Have put in correction to change to International cheers!



PhilMH 28th Sep 2023		Hi Greg, I would make it International; I thought it might be UK, as that's where you are, but I have just looked in the online Gramophone archives, and it seems that the UK release of this album was via EMI, on HMV/Melodiya ASD 3228 (per an ad in Gramophone's August 1976 issue), so it looks like CBS didn't have the UK rights for Melodiya.



gregs45s SUBS 27th Sep 2023		@Philmh Hi, thanks for the useful (as always) info, yes, that makes sense, but because there is no indication of the destination country it was intended for on this one, would it be worth changing the country to International, or would it be better just to leave it as USA?



PhilMH 26th Sep 2023		Hi Greg, the stickers and the black marker would have been added when this album was exported to other countries, as the Columbia name and trademark were owned by EMI in most of the world outside the US and Canada at the time. As the stickers have CBS printed on them, I think that they would have been added by the record company, either prior to export or on receipt of the records by the CBS affiliate in the destination country, so this would then qualify as an international CBS release, rather than an import by a record shop from a US one stop, who in my experience here in Australia would have used black marker on the labels as well. It's probably safe to leave this with three labels as it is now.



gregs45s SUBS 26th Sep 2023		A curious one, this was a joint release by Columbia and the Russian label Мелодия (Melodiya), but, for some reason the album artwork was printed with "Columbia / Melodiya" (a mistake in the first place??), which has then had every mention of "Columbia" subsequently covered over with "CBS" stickers, even to the point of using a marker to cross out the smallprint on the back. This is the first time i've come across these circular "CBS" stickers on a label, here's what the normal labels and cover looked like I've added all three labels here, but, if you want to change it to just "CBS / Melodiya" that's fine too
