I have Russian without Toil (1973) and "Le nouvelle russe sans peine" (1995). Both audio are very different. I use both versions but prefer the old edition.

I was unaware that there are English versions. I was planning on buying "El ruso sin esfuerzo." Is the audio the same among editions. For example, my friend ahs the latest edition of "Le russe sans peine", and would let me borrow his audio...is that the same as with "El ruso sin esfuerzo?" Is this consistent with ALL books (of course, within editions)?

If it is in the same edition, then the audio is the same. It does not matter if it were "le russe sans peine" or "el ruso sin esfuerzo."

@linqvist
So you confirm that there's a 70's English edition?
I can't read French very well. Is it still worth getting "Le Russe Sans Peine" from 197x and "El ruso sin esfuerzo" from 196x or should I get only the Spanish edition (the edition we don't have the audio for)?

I have the audio for both the 1951 and the 1971 editions. You can pm me if you would like a copy. I would put both on a CD.

I think this isn't the best idea, lots of people are going to clamour for those audio files, whether they need them or not.
If you would, you could let people have those recordings by uploading them to Rapidshare free of charge, and then share the link with interested parties. That would be much easier and quicker than burning and sending out CDs. Just an idea.
To see how it works I've just uploaded a zipped file (ancient Greek grammar tables that I made myself). The fact that only 10 people could download my file(s) decided me to open a collector's account, also free of charge.
The only thing I'm not sure about: how fast, or slow, is the uploading of bigger files going to be? For my small zip-file it took quite some time before the upload actually got going. You could always give it a try and, if too painfully slow, just stop it.
Cheers
P.S. Here the link to my grammar file, in case you'd be interested to see how it works, if it works! It's not complete, but the more basic stuff is all there. Vocabulary based on the Athenaze books.

I am embarrassed. My Inbox was almost full when I posted my offer. I have now deleted old files to make room.
Thank you charlmartell for your suggestion. I have a dialup modem and the files are large. It might work with my broadband connection but I have a very low monthly limit and I can't send email by broadband. I send all email by dialup.
I will check out the Rapidshare option as I have used it to download files.
Otherwise, I will just have to mail out CDs as I have done before.

Before you start burning and mailing out CDs, the related thread Assimil Russe Sans Peine 1971 has a few URLs to the both editions.
It has to be easier for everyone to use those sources.
