Russian National Gramophone Society

Corporate background:
Label scan courtesy of UK music researcher
and collector Bill Dean-Myatt.
Design: A
raven-haired beauty plucks the strings of a lyre, with typical
Eastern Orthodox onion-shaped domes (Moscow’s St.
Basil’s Cathedral?) in the distant background, beyond a
battlemented wall.
The imprinting of the song title etc. is
done over the background of a blank music scroll.
A very high quality of artwork and
printing, with the image providing all the visual appeal.
