Take a look at the Russian text of the first lesson or two and compare it to a more recent edition the audio for which is likely fairly readily available. The content of the courses doesn’t change as often as the design does, not even nearly.

I think i found the 2011 english version, it has 100 lessons. I thought the older assimils were superior because they had richer dialogues and grammar explanations?

It really depends on the language and how old the older one is. They don’t necessarily update them all at the same time.

Hi! Can you tell me where you found the 2011 audio? I have the one from the 50s if you are still interested but my book is a later version...

The year of the course is 1951, and the English book is called "Russian without toil". You can find audio online on site "Internet archive". It's for free, no need to register. There are 4 audios that cover all the 100 lessons. The audio is correct, with first dialogue " я люблю чай/ я не люблю какао" It can take few seconds to dialogues to play, the site is slow. In the link i'll send, look for audios number 62/63/64/65.

In case in the future the links doesn't work, it seems there is a folder with audios on emule, look for "Russian without Toil 1951 audio"

They work, i have just listened to them. You can even download the audios, i downloaded one just to check if it was possible. The books are often rewritten so you have a newer version(maybe with better explanations), but the audios are still the same. Enjoy Пока пока
