Re: [ARSCLIST] was: Soviet Recordings: labels now Chinese Pi tou he chang tuan

The talk of Russian issues of Beatles LPs brings to mind the disc I uncovered while attempting to get the backlogged vinyl at NYPL cataloged. The item, clad (well, wrapped or enfolded might describe it better)in the thinnest of paper, open on three sides, was titled (this is an absolutely exact transcription)"Sgt Peppeb's Loney Hearps Club Band" played by "Pi tou he chang tuan". For the rest of the bibliographic description, you have to go to Worldcat. I guarantee that a keyword search for "Peppeb" will turn up only one and only one item.
