Russian Disc - tracking down deleted discs

Can anyone help me track down these deleted Russian Disc CDs. I only recently discovered the Daedalus-Books site as a result of rmcr but although I have now picked up from them a few Medtners and the Eshpai cocnertos they do not have any of these. These used to be at Berkshire but have now gone:-

Are you interested in the original cd's or is it just the recordings you want to have? If the latter is the case I can help you with some.

If you have a friend in NYC, he/she perhaps can pay a visit to the Tower Annex where I saw LOTS of these last Friday (I am now back in California, otherwise I'd search for these myself).

What I want to know is, whether this Russian Disc even existed?

GLAZOUNOV: Symphony No. 4; Violin Concerto; 2 Serenades Gorenstein / Russian Disc 10 039

It was pictured in the Koch catalog but immediately withdrawn when they stopped distributing Russian Disc (!) ... So I don't know if they even issued it. Has anyone seen this one???

There are literally loads of RD at Tower Outlet, W.4th St., NYC.

I am very grateful for all the replies. I just wished I lived in NYC rather than Widnes in the UK. I tried the Tower website boht UK and USA and none of these discs were revealed. If only I knew someone in NYC.

My daughter lives in NYC. She may be willing...

I may be beating a dead horse here, but I just bought a bunch of the Russian Disc stuff at the Tower Records Outlet in NYC. If you're succesful in contacting Tower's outlet, I know that the following are available (multiple copies):

-Blumenfeld/Schebalin/Banshchikov (tell them to look under Blumenfeld. What's this like?) -Esphai, Syms 4 & 5. (bought it, like it. How is the Esphai concertos disk?) -Svetlanov (3 Songs, etc.) I think the other Svetlanov also. (What is this like?)

Berkshire has the Karayev rec. (on Olympia, not Russian Disc).

At Tower, I also picked up the following on Russian Disc: -a couple of the DSCH movie scores (Sofia Perovskaya, Goya, others
