Sorry Richard, but the label "Made in W. Germany" was around until after the fall of the Berlin wall. I have CDs with "Made in West Germany" printed on the back, and I don't think those were around in the 1960's.
Also, it was the Soviet Union, not Russia, that exerted dominance over East Germany during that time period. Paul On 5/21/09, Richard V. West <hornfe...@comcast.net> wrote: > Whoops!
