A few words about negative feedback we received recently. This was from Yang Pei Yi (Taiwan) - remember this name he is hiding under 4 ebay id's as he told us! After he got his parcel, he started to complain even for about like-new record, He explained that his LP should be in PERFECT condition, but he bought vintage 60 y.o. record and did not read description to the end. He demanded refund and his words were "no compromise", we found this suspicious as he did neither reply us nor accept our alternative. So he started a paypal claim and got HUGE refund, and kept record. He did not ask paypal for full refund because he should have returned item, what he has never did. After he left us negative In the end we lost merchandise, money, and got negative. So here is how ebay protects their sellers and it is a shame on ebay!


ULTRA RARE 1st USSR PRESSING FROM 1939!!! 10" 78 RPM !!!
Mark Osipovich Reizen, also Reisen or Reyzen (Russian: ???? ???????? ??????, 3 July [O.S. 21 June] 1895 – November 25, 1992) was a leading Soviet opera singer with a beautiful and expansive bass voice. He studied engineering at the Kharkiv Politechnic, and also voice at the Kharkiv Conservatory with the Italian professor Federico Bugamelli in 1919-1920. He debuted at the Kharkiv Opera in 1921 as Pimen in Mussorgsky's Boris Godunov, and in 1925 moved to the Mariinsky Theatre in Leningrad. Reizen toured Europe performing in Paris, Berlin, Monte Carlo and London in 1929-1930. A tall man commanding a strong stage presence, he joined the Bolshoi Theatre in 1930, remaining there as a principal bass until his retirement in 1954. Among his roles were: Ivan Susanin and Ruslan from the Glinka's operas, Don Basilio (The Barber of Seville by Rossini), Mephistopheles (Faust by Gounod), Prince Gremin (Eugene Onegin by Tchaikovsky), Salieri (Mozart and Salieri), the Viking merchant (Sadko) in operas by Rimsky-Korsakov, the old Gypsy (Aleko by Rachmaninov), Wotan in Wagner's Ring of the Nibelungs, Konchak (Prince Igor by Borodin), Philip II and Procida in Verdi's operas, and so on. He became a particularly memorable interpreter of Boris and Dosifey in the operas of Mussorgsky (Boris Godunov and Khovanshchina, respectively). Reizen was awarded the Stalin Prize in 1941, 1949, and 1951. In 1967, he began teaching, and became a professor at the Moscow Gnessin Institute. He gave an important recital for his 80th anniversary, and for his 90th sang Prince Gremin (in Eugene Onegin) at the Bolshoi in Moscow in July 1985. On both occasions his voice proved to be in a remarkable state of preservation. Reizen died of a stroke in 1992 in Moscow at the age of 97. He is considered to have been the most illustrious Russian bass since the days of Lev Sibiriakov (1869-1942) and Feodor Chaliapin (1873-1938), and the possessor of one of the very finest voices of its type heard anywhere in the world during the past 100 years.
