Is there such a program with CDs? I've found Italian with Ease and German with Ease for $33 on Amazon, but I'm really interested in a Russian program for English speakers. Does one exist? I keep getting a result for "1951 Russian Without Toil"
Can anyone let me know!?

You can get the audio for Russian Without Toil for free here.
Besides that, Assimil doesn't have a Russian course for English speakers, and from an email they sent me, nor do they intend on making another.

How strong is your Spanish? I have "El Nuevo Ruso sin esfuerzo" Assimil Russian for
Spanish speakers. It's quite good I might add....

You can download the book in English and the audio at that site (uztranslations) but you need to register to get the details. Registration is free.
The book and audio must be well out of copyright.

Both the book and audio are still protected by copyright in the States.
The audio from 1950s is out-of-copyright in the EU while the book is not.
I have no idea about Australia or Canada because we don't know when A. Cherel died.

My Spanish is pretty good, I'm hovering in between Basic and Advanced fluency at this moment. I get about 90% of what I hear depending on the topic. :D
Would you reccommend it? :) I could learn two at one time!

I'd say you could do that. If you have some difficulties, you can either learn a specific thing in Spanish to help you understand it or refer an English-based resource.

Actually they are making one. I sent them an email a month or two ago, and here was their response:
Indeed, we are preparing courses for English speakers as Arabic, Hebrew and Russian (methods collection) and Spanish, Italian, Chinese and Russian (phrasebooks collection).
We have a new Export Manager and he has the will to develop the English market.
Fingers crossed it's still being developed.
