I stumbled across this 45 rpm record while looking for some old Christmas LPs at my father's house. I like the cover art: a rather striking watercolour painting of a stream train high above a bright winter scene populated with cross-country skiers. I think he bought this record one summer in the International Pavilion at the CNE in the late 60s or early 70s. From the pristine condition of the record, I don't think it had ever been played. I gave it a spin, but the music wasn't to my taste.

Thanks to internet. I am from India. This visual is very old childhood memory of mine. Some how today it just came to mind and searched for 'old russian train paintings' and i stumbled across this. I might have seen this picture during the 80's in one of the soviet union magzines which were very popular in india that time. Thanks for posting.
