Hymn Of The Soviet Union.

[CtahhR]

After more than 10 years of searching I finally obtained the original 12" 78rpm record of Paul Robeson With The Keynote Orchestra And Chorus performing The Anthem Of The U.S.S.R./The United Nations, released on Keynote Records, Catalogue Number 1200.

The English lyrics were written (rather than translated) by Hy Zaret (who also wrote the lyrics to Unchained Melody).

On the rare occasions that these pop up for sale they almost always sell for over $100 and even up to $200. I was quite lucky to only part with $18.

Unplayed condition and I'll be very eager to give this a spin on the Laser Turntable when I get home.
