There's no one "World's Fair" recording..lots of titles were exported
over here with those labels in 1939 (although my understanding is that
the records came but the Russians didn't, because of impending war).
Once those pressings were sold off, Stinson Trading Corp. had new
masters dubbed from them and continued to sell them as US pressings.
I'm sure others will have lots to add..Mike Biel, where are you?

Hello,
I am trying to gather information on the early distribution of Soviet
recordings in the US.
1. What was the first recording of Soviet songs that was released in
the US? (year?; label? contents?)
2. I also am trying to find more information regarding subsequent
distribution of recordings of Soviet songs in the US. (Labels?;
History?; Would the companies simply copy from eachother and resell
under their respective labels?). Based on my research in American and
Russian-American papers, it appears that Stinson and the "Am-Rus Music
Corporation" were the first distributors of these records - is this
true? Does anyone know anything else about this "Am-Rus" company? 3.
Could anyone tell me more about the "World's Fair" recording. (Year?;
Contents?; Performers?). 4. Does anyone have any suggestions for
sources about early Soviet recordigs in the US?
Thank you very much.
N. Zelensky
