Description

KLAVDIYA SHULZHENKO SINIJ PLATOCHEK b/w POJ, IGRAJ, GARMOSHKA KISMET R 201 | CIRCA 1940
Additional Information: Very rare 78 Russian music 78. A side has New York record sticker on label. Possibly removable, I did not want to remove it. There is a hairline crack in the shellac that goes from the outer edge to the label, with this in mind, record plays through without skips. Recorded in Soviet Russia. The record was made in the U.S.A. Please refer to photos and feel free to email me with any questions.
Kismet Record Co. (sometimes also written as Kismet Records or Kismet Recording Co.) was founded in 1938 in New York by Dimitri Kornienko (a musician already known by its hit "Bosporus") and his wife Anna. Initially they were producing recordings of Dimitri Kornienko's ensemble and distributing them through somebody else's stores. When Dimitri has died in 1943, the family's friends helped the widow to open her own musical store in New York (227 East 14th street) and to continue production of new recordings. Under Mrs. Anna Kornienko, the company entered the LP era; Kismet had issued dozens of titles, including several LPs with songs of Alexander Vertinsky and Peter Leschenko. After certain decline in 1970s, the company was revitalized by its new employee, Rudolf Solovyev (also known as Rudolf Fuchs and Ruvim Rublev) who bought the business in early 1980s. Kismet operated until late 1990s, when Rudolf decided to return to Russia. The New York shop became "Russian Souvenirs". Today, unfortunately, the "spirit of Russia" is totally expelled from there and replaced by the smell of coffee: since 2016, here is "Mr. Moustache Coffee Shop"...
As 78s are by nature fragile, I securely package them between two pieces of cardboard, and ship them in a box.
No shipping to Italy or France. Customs declared value for all international shipping will be final bid price and will not be lowered.
