Re: [ARSCLIST] Shostakovich recordings

Except that the Concert Hall issue is listed in WERM Supplement 3, so it 
existed before 1956 and can't have been lifted from D06459-60D if that's a 1960 
release. And as far as I know, Concert Hall acquired its Russian material 
legitimately. (But my copy is also a Rarities issue, so no liner notes. Also 
incredibly noisy vinyl.)
