Always knew your learning Chinese and Russian would pay off!   But if 
this is a Red Commie recording, maybe "Red US Pat Off." is not a 
misprint.   However, Art Shiffrin and I are wondering if Reguspatoff is 
any relation to Andy Brown who always claimed the HE wuz Regusted.

P.S.  Sorry for the jokes, Allen.  Actually, there was a San Francisco 
book store and distributor which was the major importer and re-seller of 
books and records from Communist China.  Don't know if they are involved 
in this label, but SF was a major point of Chinese publications in the 
50s and 60s.
