Great job! I've added these and the others to the directory now.
Caught a small typo here; F.E. Aless -> F.E. Less.

For reference, here's an overview of the composers/pseudonyms - most of these are German, actually:

If you have a tracklist for ROT. 106 and 108 I can maybe ID the last few too.

Thank you Mr!
ROT. 106 is a reissue of "Rock Race" (Center 17 035 ST), which I don't think it's a library record. But I can't find any connections with ROT. 108.

Fixed the typo, here the back covers of these two:





In addition some tracks of ROT. 103 are taken from "Jack Wolfe And His Music" (Mozart Edition ME. LP08).
ROT. 110 is almost the same as "The New Raphaele Singers" (Mozart Edition ME. LP035).

Nice, thanks! That was enough to ID the remaining names, I've updated the listing now.

Curiously, Georgij Garanjan is is to my knowledge one of very few Soviet composers to do library work. Gollasch and the rest of the composers are (I think) East German.

Yeah, you're right - the Center LP itself isn't a library record as far as I'm aware, but a few of the tracks from it appear on Raphaele as well.
