  1. Any indication of what label these remasterings are from. They appear to be from some of the Melodiya boxes and singles, so I am just curious as to how improved the sound it. I will sample later and post mu thoughts

    1. This label is called Music Online. I’ve found one of these items on RMG Records label. I suppose they used Melodiya’s sources but only God knows if they did the mastering or not.

      Anyway I hope you enjoy it!
