Puzzle Plate 1.God Save the Tsar 2.Glory to the Lord 3.The Fire of Moscow

Souvenir record issued to commemorate the centenary of 1812 Patriotic (Anti-Napoleonic) war. The recording is made in three parallel grooves - one cannot guess which one will play when the tonearm is placed on record. That is the "Puzzle" announced on record in capital letters. In audio file they are recorded in sequence.
The title "God Save the Tsar" (anthem of Russia in 1833-1917) and numbering had been erased in Soviet times, restored later. The melody "Glory to the Lord" was the official anthem of Russia from late 18th c. till 1833.
