Pure progressive folk based rock.Very few copies were pressed compared to their later albums. I should mention their airy vocals and complex arrangements of folk songs.

LP ARIEL EVERY DAY IS YOURS 14 M-/M- Melodiya 1981 Russia In general this record reminds mid 1970-s McCartney albums - very beautiful songs strongly arranged with top class playing.

LP MASHINA VREMENI "TIME MACHINE" SLOW GOOD MUSIC 11 Ex/M- Sintez 1991 Russia LP MELODIYA LABIRINT 20 Ex/Ex+ Melodiya 1975 Russia Very rare jazz rock LP by this excellent ensemble. Contains four instrumental tracks with remarkable saxophone and drums playing. LP METAL CORROSION CANNIBAL 8 M-/M- Sintez 1991 Russia Successful Russian heavy metal band. LP MIKE (ZOOPARK) LV 9 Ex+/M- Erio 1982 Russia 1991 vinyl pressing of the album recorded in 1982. "LV" was among the most successful "magnetoalbums" (underground tape albums) of the eighties in Russia. This is Zoopark actually with the help of Boris Grebenschikov of Aquarium. As on every record here Mike plays rhythm'n'blues and nothing more. LP MOROZOV, JURY TROUBLED TIMES 8 M/M Melodiya 1990 Russia Among the players on this LP I must mention the musicians from Aquarium and DDT and Fedor Tchistyakov, the leader of Nol. LP MOROZOV, JURY IDIOTEQUE 8 Ex/M- Antrop 1991 Russia price sticker damage Contains material written in mid-1970s and recorded in 1976-1981. Exellent progressive album. LP MOROZOV, JURY MY LIGHT, MY ANGEL 6 M/M private 1992 Russia Recorded in 1980-82. Very close to the "Blue Star Wanderer", but more calm and soft. LP MOROZOV, JURY BLUE STAR WANDERER 6 Ex/M Antrop 1993 Russia Recorded in 1981. At that time he was deep in religion. The result is a little bit close to Beefheart's "Bluejeans And Moonbeams" and some tracks of Van Der Graaf (not in sound but rather in mood). LP MOROZOV, JURY THE CHERRY GARDEN OF JIMI HENDRIX 10 Ex-/Ex Cobweb 1993 Russia Recorded 1973-76. The first and one of the best underground progressive albums ever recorded in Russia. LP MYTHS HEAD FIRST 10 M/M Cobweb 1980 Russia 1993 pressing, recorded around 1980. Imagine Dire Straits first album with Mark Knopfler singing in Russian. That's it! Strange, but these grandfathers of Russian underground rock recorded maybe three or four albums while their music career started as far as in 1967. I love this LP! LP MYTHS BELL, RING!!! 6 M-/M Melodiya 1989 Russia Yes, while recording this album they were a living myth already. Just a good rock LP. Sometimes sounds like mid-eighties Stones albums. LP NEKKERMANN, PASHA & DEN'GI PASHA NEKKERMANN & DEN'GI 10 Ex-/Ex Cobweb 1993 Russia Price sticker. Rare and only LP of the electric blues -rock band from Saint Petersburg. LP NOL TALES 8 Ex-/Ex Melodiya 1990 Russia I'd call it folk punk pub rock. Their odious leader plays accordeon. In the foreword there's such a phrase: "Can we call a music some noise effects squeezed into very hard and primitive limits? If you are looking for music to relax this one is not for you". I can add that it's of course good music, for those who are looking for something they never heard before. LP OBLACHNY KRAI "CLOUDY LAND" SVOBODY ZAHOTELI? "WANT FREEDOM?" 12 M-/M- Melodiya 1991 Russia "A legendary and mystical band from the north of Russia, "heard by all and seen by nobody". Underground hard rock. Having started recording in 1982 these musicians got the first official release only in 1991 with this album. LP OKUDJAVA, BULAT SONGS 7 VG++/Ex Melodiya 1979 Russia Classic Russian singer-songwriter. 2nd album (?). Very little ringwear. LP OKUDJAVA, BULAT NEW SONGS 9 M-/M- Melodiya 1986 Russia Classic Russian singer-songwriter. On this album accompanied with violin LP OLE LUKOYE ZAPARA 21 M/M- Antrop 1993 Russia These musicians are the former members of the "Rainy Season", the famous art rock band. What do they play? "Psychedelic ethno-trance", "folklore from nowhere" - that's what some critics say... Some lyrics are in imaginary, not existing language. They toured in Germany, Scandinavia. Their songs are presented on several European modern psychedelic music compilations. Enough words, just listen! web site in English: http://private-win.convey.ru:8101/elik/OleyHome.htm LP PESNYARY SAME 1ST LP 32 Vg+/Vg+ Melodiya 1971 Russia RAREST MONO first pressing. This band from Bjelorussia is now the most collectable of all 1970-s Soviet Union bands. Their extreme popularity is explained by top class singing and playing. You won't find a Russian who will not recognize their "Yas' was hay-making" by the first chords. Their music is a mix of folk, pop and psychedelia. LP PESNYARY SAME 1ST LP 39 Vg+/Ex- Melodiya 1971 Russia STEREO first pressing. Price sticker. This band from Bjelorussia is now the most collectable of all 1970-s Soviet Union bands. Their extreme popularity is explained by top class singing and playing. You won't find a Russian who will not recognize their "Yas' was hay-making" by the first chords. Their music is a mix of folk, pop and psychedelia. LP PESNYARY SAME 2ND LP 17 Ex+/Ex- Melodiya 1973 Russia Second pressing, 1977. Made in their first LP spirit (blend of folk and psychedelic rock) , contains some great compositions. These guys managed to bring together the mighty rock drive with the beautiful traditional melodies like no one else could. LP PESNYARY SAME 3RD LP 17 M/M(-) Melodiya 1977 Russia custom sleeve. This LP, rather with prog than psych touch, still has folk roots. In fact half of the compositions moves closer to pop and the other half - to prog. It's a typical situation for Soviet bands - they were seldom allowed to make a record of only their own compositions. They were forced to include songs by official writers-composers. The LP contains a couple of evergreen hits like "Bjelorussia", "Vologda". (this copy was obtained at the Melodiya factory warehouse, from their archive. The sleeve may be printed in the 1980-ies) LP PESNYARY SAME 3RD LP 11 Ex-/Vg++ Melodiya 1977 Russia "personal" sleeve. This LP, rather with prog than psych touch, still has folk roots. In fact half of the compositions moves closer to pop and the other half - to prog.

The LP contains a couple of evergreen hits like "Bjelorussia", "Vologda". LP PESNYARY BJELORUSSIAN FOLK SONGS 14 Vg(+)/Ex- Melodiya 1979 Russia Price sticker. Released around 1979 these tracks were recorded in the early seventies (1970-73). The tapes spent several years on the shelves and weren't released immediately, I think, because they sounded far from the mainstream sound. A blend of folk and prog rock. Remarkable vocals, top class playing. Traditional folk instruments add freshness to the sound. LP PESNYARY GUSLYAR 27 Ex/Ex Melodiya 1980 Russia A great progressive album that's in demand by prog collectors around the world. Presented as "a poem-legend" it is based on an epic poem by Yanka Kupala. Never before and after it Soviet rock scene created a conceptual album of that class. It was acknowledged even by official Soviet musical critics. As on every Pesnyary's record here synthesizers and electric guitars meet violins and various Bjelorussian folk instruments. LP PESNYARY THROUGH THE WHOLE OF THE WAR 20 M-/M- Melodiya 1986 Russia On this conceptual album Pesnyary are as always on the top. Rather rare LP, seems like only 3000 copies were pressed.

Track titles: Korablik Zolotoy (Ship Of Gold), Oi Ne Sudite Opremetchivo (Don't Misjudge), Karavella, etc. LP PIKNIK WOLF'S DANCE 9 M-/M- Antrop 1984 Russia Recorded in 1984, first released in 1994. This is their second album, produced by Andrey Tropillo in the same studio as classic Aquarium albums. To get the idea about the music try to mix Atomic Rooster with the Talking Heads. Add clever ,sharp, sometimes surrealistic lyrics and occasional Russian folk intonations. LP PUGACHEVA, ALLA MIRROR OF SOUL 7 VG+/Ex Melodiya 1978 Russia Late seventies LP, Pugacheva is backed by the "Rhythm" group. Major Hits on this LP are "Sonet", "Woman Who Sings" LP PUGACHEVA, ALLA PODNIMIS' NAD SUETOI "BE BEYOND A FUSS OF LIFE" 11 Ex/Ex Melodiya 1979 Russia "Late seventies LP, Pugacheva is backed by the "Rhythm" group. Includes the famous "Leningrad", "Musician", "Starry Summer". To me this records is valuable because all the music (except one track) was composed by Alla Pugacheva herself. LP PUGACHEVA, ALLA HOW DISTURBING IS THIS WAY 4 VG+/VG+ Melodiya 1981 Russia Just the BEST of Alla Pugacheva. Recorded with the "Recital" band, this record contains outstanding melodies enriched with top class playing of musicians. This is that kind of pop that's not just for legs moving, it makes you think also. LP 10" POJUSCHIE GITARY 'SINGING GUITARS' POJUSCHIE GITARY 23 EX-/G+ Melodiya 1968 Russia Custom sleeve MONO 11 tracks 10" LP. This one is a piece of history, the first rock (actually - beat) LP released in Russia. The popularity of this beat band in Russia in late sixties - early seventies can be compared only to that of the Beates. This is an extremely rare original mono copy pressed around 1968-69. One half of the LP is cover versions of instrumental standards of Tremeloes, Shadows and other bands, other tracks are self-penned songs. Unfortunately this copy has seen better days, still it is quite listenable end enjoyable. Feel free to ask for a short MP3 sample to determine the sound quality! 2LP POJUSCHIE GITARY 'SINGING GUITARS' ORPHEUS AND EURYDICE 28 M-/Ex+ Melodiya 1975 Russia A rock opera performed by the famous Pojuschie Gitary (Singing Guitars). Written and first performed in 1975 this opera was voted as a most important rock event of the year. Offered here is a top condition copy housed in hard cardboard box. LP ROCK HOTEL ROCK HOTEL 10 M-/M- Melodiya 1983 Russia Recorded in 1981. A solid rock and roll band from Estonia. (Status Quo fans, where are you?) On this LP they perform cover versions of classic rock artists like Springsteen, lyrics in Estonian language. Rare original copy. LP RUJA RUJA 8 Ex+/Ex Melodiya 1982 Russia A band from Tallinn, Estonia. They play good quality straight rock and rock'n'roll. Lyrics in Estonian except one track sung in English and dedicated to John Lennon. A fine example of Estonian early eighties rock. LP SECRET SECRET 5 M-/VG++ Melodiya 1986 Russia Secret is often called "Russian Beatles". They really managed to bring to life the kind joyfull ahmosphere of beat and rock'n'roll in the eighties when most of music was in much darker mood. LP SECRET LENINGRAD TIME 7 Ex/M- Melodiya 1988 Russia As good as their first LP LP SECRET BAND ON THE WAY 7 M-/Ex Russian Disc 1991 Russia Closer to pop rock, with brass section. LP STRANGE GAMES LOOK WITH YOUR BOTH EYES 6 M/M Melodiya 1988 Russia Recorded 1986. This band along with Aquarium, Zoopark, Television was among the leaders of St.Petersburg rock scene in the mid-eighties. Their only official LP is a mix of new wave and avant-garde with a good doze of humor. LP TAMBOURINE TAMBOURINE 6 Ex/Ex Melodiya 1988 Russia A soft acoustic folk rock record. Tender music with philosophical lyrics. This band was a regular prize winner of the Leningrad Rock Club festivals in the eighties. LP TAMBOURINE THE RUNNING DAYS TUNE 8 Ex/VG++ Melodiya 1990 Russia Musically this Tambourine LP brings to mind Stackridge albums but less art rock orientated. This band was a regular prize winner of the Leningrad Rock Club festivals in the eighties. LP TELEVISION FISHES' PROCESSION 6 M/M Melodiya 1989 Russia price written on cover. Recorded in 1985. One of the mid-eighties leading Russian rock bands. They style is hard new wave. LP TELEVISION DYM-TUMAN "SMOG" 7 M/M RGM 1992 Russia Their later album has some connection to New Model Army. LP TOUKHMANOV, DAVID ON THE WAVE OF MY MEMORY 21 Ex-/Ex- Melodiya 1975 Russia 1cm. TOC. The first conceptual LP that appeared on the Soviet rock scene, it was a real breakthrough in the mid-seventies. They say that in Moscow the first pressing didn't even reach the record shops - the whole stock was purchased by the underground dealers and was being sold at 5-10 times higher price. This is a kind of an observation, the lyrics were taken from various poets beginning from the VII century B.C. The songs are sung in Russian, French, English, German languages. For the recording session David Toukhmanov invited the front men of several leading rock bands as well as two orchestras. A strong light progressive rock LP. Highly recommended. LP VA BANK IN THE KITCHEN 10 M-/VG+ FeeLee 1992 Russia with insert. Va Bank is one of the leading punk rock bands in Russia. But this album is not typical electric punk. It is an acoustic mix of rough punk and someties folk. A surprising and distinctive album. 2LP VARIOUS ARTISTS SPRING RHYTHMS TBILISI-80 FESTIVAL 12 Ex-/Ex- Melodiya 1981 Russia TWO RECORDS SET. 5cm taped seam. Features such bands as progressive "Autograph", blues "Magnetic Band", legendary jazz rock "Gunesh", the evergreen "Time Machine", number one Russian band (which is still on its peak for more then 25 years). This two record set would be a good purchase to get the idea about the late seventies Russian rock scene. 2LP VARIOUS ARTISTS ANTHOLOGY. JESUS ROCK IN RUSSIA PART 1 11 M/M- Messia 1994 Russia 2 LP Christian rock played by various bands. Of course, different styles - from folk and psychedelic to hard and heavy. 2LP VARIOUS ARTISTS JUNO AND AVOS' 11 M-/Ex- Melodiya 1991 Russia 2 LP Recorded 1980. A rock influenced modern opera where electronic rhythms give place to Russian church singing and then to acoustic guitar. Based on a true love story of San Francisco governor's daughter and Russian noble sailor in the beginning of XIX century. LP VOSKRESENYE VOSKRESENYE 1981 23 M/M- FEE LEE 1991 Russia The hard-to-find vinyl pressing of the historic underground recording session that took place back in 1981. The classic album that had its influence on the whole generation of Russian rockers. Musically it is between Dire Straits and Rolling Stones. LP ZEMLYANE VLADIMIR MIGULYA AND ZEMLYANE 11 Ex/Ex- Melodiya 1980 Russia The first LP of a very successful band that later had switched from pop to commercial hard rock (like Sweet did around 1973-74) and made several big hits. LP ZODIAC DISCO ALLIANCE 11 M-/Ex+ Melodiya 1982 Russia A group of conservatoire students from Riga, Latvia. I would call their music space disco prog rock. Recorded in 1981, their first album. Rare native pressing -made in Latvia at the Riga records factory. Sleeve notes in Latvian, Russian and English. LP ZOOPARK DIVIDING LINE 7 VG++/M- Melodiya 1988 Russia Recorded 1984.

LP ZOOPARK MUSIC FOR THE FILM 8 M-/M- private 1991 Russia The songs were recorded between 1988-1990. LP ZOOPARK UEZDNY GOROD N 49 M-/M- private 1983 Russia Gatefold. Very, very limited 1990-ies vinyl pressing of nearly the best underground Russian album. Tough blend of rhythm'n' blues and hard rock. The title track, 14 minute long ballad is a surrealistic encyclopedia of the life in the USSR … through the eyes of an underground rocker. LP ZVUKI MU TRANSREIABILITY 14 M/M- Mamonov 1991 Russia This band's style is very hard to define. All I can say is that their first LP (1989) was released in UK and produced by Brian Eno who was at that time seeking for bands with non-standard musical ideas. Section 3.

Various East German bands perform the cover versions of the Beatles' and Lennon's classics. Surprisingly to me this LP sounds very, very fresh and interesting although I don't like cover versions whoever performs them (unless it's me :-)). But this LP is recommended to the Beatles fans without a doubt. LP ZELENA POSTA ZELENA POSTA 56 Ex-/Ex+ Opus 1972 CZE g/f Little is known to me about this band and its two basic members. One of them, Pavol Hammel had a long music career, starting recording in mid-sixties and making solo LP's in mid-eighties. But one thing I'm sure is that it's my favorite record from Czechoslovakia - melodic prog with a good balance of instruments. In my "vinyl" life I came across only two copies - one was in poor condition, the other is offered here.
