Theodore Bikel had already recorded several albums for Elektra when he made 'Songs of a Russian Gypsy', but were those records anywhere as successful as this one? 'Nyet!' In fact, not only did 'Songs' far outsell any previous Elektra release by any artist, but it was also such a hit that the label rushed to record a sequel, 'Songs of Russia Old & New', that has been combined with its predecessor to form a great, Russian-themed twofer!
