I've just got to play this. I bought my Father the soundtrack for Christmas years ago and duly nicked it off him later. I am a bad man.

I remember hearing this on a massive old stereogram; this recording sounds not dissimilar. Umpteen 78s! After 1917, he remained "perpetually outside Russia after 1921. He still maintained, however, that he was not anti-Soviet. Chaliapin initially moved to Finland and later lived in France. Cosmopolitan Paris, with its significant Russian émigré population." from Wikipedia |

I'm probably alone in this, but Katy Perry produces some brilliant (imo) stuff, and she works very hard to create excellent videos... |

At 0:44 is (apart from the magic drumming)that sold this to me - reminiscent of the almost Icelandic shout that so electrified the Euros. |

Chumbles. I've still got all his albums. That video stars Amanda Donohoe, who was his teenage girlfriend at the time (she's dressed in black). I'm sure you know this already.

Thanks for the background Tids; I was not so much into music then. More darts, board gaming, Bridge, Poker with a lot of drinking, and working ar far too hard! Here's another classic ... |

This is a bit of a hint (and probably one of the worst Beatles songs) |
