1) Mic preamps used on Soviet Kitsch? My absolute favorite record of hers.

2) What do you think of the production on the later Regina albums? I strongly prefer the minimalist presentation on Soviet Kitsch. 11:11 was a bit scrappy/rough and the later productions, to me, occluded some of what's magical about her. You can hear the magic more clearly in some of the many live recordings of her songs from the post-Soviet Kitsch era.
