There are two records D-18475-7′ and D-20579-10′ combined together. Both recorded in 1966 in a good studio, Frida sings accompanied by the instrumental ensemble of V. Rubashevskiy. The variation in the quality of the recordings is striking, as if someone was experimenting with the equipment. Judging by the sound of the vocals on the D-20579, Frida sang in front of some cheap Soviet dynamic microphone, the voice is quite clamped. On the ff where Frida sings at some distance, the sound is clamped even more. The apotheosis of such a record is “Nejnost” where Frida sings with feeling and the orchestra sounds great! “A Man and a Woman” was good played, but the quality, as if on purpose, is the worst of all.

Colette Renard – Raymond Legrand, 1967 LP Rip
Recordings by Colette Renard and the Raymond Legrand pop Orchestra from a tour in the USSR. It seems like these tours were in 1961, for these old years, the record sounds somewhat cold. Although when compared to Frida Baccara (1966), everything falls into place, Renard sounds clearer.

Gerard Le Breton, 1950s LP Rip
The magical night road of Le Breton, hypnotizes as soon as the piano begins to play.
Cartoon Songs, 1970s LP Rip
Leonov is a great talent, brilliantly sang Winnie-the-Pooh. The children’s choir is made up of two tracks — the first and second verses are recorded worse than the third, in the third verse the children are very expressive. Chunga-Changa is good without question, Aida is beautiful.
From Melody to Melody, 1960s LP Rip
Funny tracks from the series "From melody to melody." Alive, though crooked.
17 Moments of Spring – LP mono Rip
Flexible record. It's recorded a bit muffled, but musically well. The execution is charismatic, there are no words.
4′ vinyl record – shake, LP Rip
Single-sided plate with a diameter of only 10 cm with the inscription “Long-playing 33 rpm Shake”, it looks like the 1960s. It would seem that what to expect from her, but she has a dense bass, a perky electric organ — a great example of vintage Lo-Fi! I wonder who made them and how..
Caucasian Prisoner (Kavkazskaya plennitsa), 1969 LP Rip
The 7' D-19738 record. And again there is an interesting effect – in the voice of Aida Vedishcheva you can hear live, human intonations, which in the common recording was not audible.

Diamond Hand (Brilyantovaia ruka), 1969 LP Rip
A flexible record of the late 1960s, the voices of the artists are recorded very expressively. Nikulin, it turns out, in each line of “A nam vse ravno” improvises and changes the pronunciation of phrases, then exaggerates, then jokes, then deliberately accentuates the fragment, this is most clearly heard when listening directly from the record and is not heard at all in the common digitization. Mironov sings much simpler, the loss of clarity on his vocals does not affect so much, but listening to him in Lo-Fi is still more interesting.
