Description
The LP is titled, Bulat Okudzhava Sings His Own Songs, produced by ARFA Records, ALP 1015. The flip side of the record jacket is blank - see photo for what can be learned from the front side. Jacket has very light corner and edge wear, no splits, faint ring back jacket. Record stored in plain white inner sleeve. It looks in very playable condition with a few light scratches, in the VG+ to VG++ range - there is a single scratch/scuff that may affect play when the record goes over it - without that mark, I would have graded VG++. From Wikipedia on this artist: "Bulat Shalvovich Okudzhava (Russian: ?????? ????????? ?????????; Georgian: ????? ???????) (May 9, 1924 – June 12, 1997) was a Soviet and Russian poet, writer, musician, novelist, and singer-songwriter of Georgian-Armenian ancestry. He was one of the founders of the Soviet genre called "author song" (????????? ?????, avtorskaya pesnya), or "guitar song", and the author of about 200 songs, set to his own poetry. His songs are a mixture of Russian poetic and folksong traditions and the French chansonnier style represented by such contemporaries of Okudzhava as Georges Brassens. Though his songs were never overtly political (in contrast to those of some of his fellow Soviet bards), the freshness and independence of Okudzhava's artistic voice presented a subtle challenge to Soviet cultural authorities, who were thus hesitant for many years to give official recognition to Okudzhava."
