Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Gorky Park (band) — The group first recorded demo tracks at the SNC studio — the SNC studio was founded later; early demos were recorded at the Stas Namin Centre or other Moscow studios, not SNC.

Gorky Park (band) — Namin then sent the band members to record at Berardi Studios in New Jersey — the correct studio name is 'Bearsville Studios' in Woodstock, New York, not Berardi Studios in New Jersey.
