The Archive and its treasures (and something else)

Back like i neva left

P.S. - special thanks for collectors who provide me recordings and by whom i become collector myself, such as:
- Walter Alberti and his other 10 accounts (i don't know if it's his real last name)
- Ольга Шабанова (козoчка, которая мне сейчас как одна из опор моей жизни. Ну и разумеется тот человек, с кем мы балакаем о том и о сём, включая то, не является ли очередная копия Турандот от 24 февраля 1961 года палью)
- Vincenzo Messeri (a man with connections and someone who knew and a friend with Elena Souliotis herself)
- Mihal Gogolewski (a collector with a huge collection that he would like to share with you. A very busy man from a country that try to escape woke eurobullcrap and didn't become a r*zzia colony once again)
