Vinyl reissues of "magnito-albums"?

[The Corroseum]

I'm curious - has anyone thought about re-releasing old CCCP Metal tape/reel albums on vinyl? I know there's been a few CD releases, like the "Night Riders" compilation CD by KONSUL I just learned about, but as far as I know there's no LPs.

Is there an interest among fans, old bands and collectors about this in Russia? Vinyl still popular over there? For instance the 2 first ARIA albums should be amazing to have on vinyl and I'm surprised it hasn't been done yet. Personally I would kill for stuff like PRINCIP, LEGION-"Apokalipsis", DUBL'1, D.I.V.-"666" etc on LP format...

The Russian groups ceased to let out albums on vinyl somewhere in 1995. Since then albums and magnito-albums are republished only on CD. Vinyl - isn't demanded.

Only recently KORROZIA METALLA republished in Germany early records on vinyl.

p.s. D.I.V. - the first album is called "Devil Sabbath" ("Dyavolskiy Shabash"), instead of "666".

Ah, you're right about the DIV album of course. I just saw the CD cover in my head and misread it, ha ha...

Thanx for the info about the KORROZIA METALLA reissues, I wasn't aware of them. A friend just told me he had also heard about these, but we can't find any ordering info on the web. Do you have a link? I heard they also made a vinyl of an old live recording <--- Must Have!

...but is there really no demand for vinyl among Metal fans/collectors in Russia today? This sounds strange.. It would be interesting to hear some more opinions about this from other members here. When I check molotok.ru it seems the rare stuff still sells for high prices so I there has to be at least a small amount of interest.

At auctions on "molotok" type get for 100 % old vinyls, times till 1995. Now groups even seldom publish CD - all records simply post in the Internet. About vinyl there is no also a speech. If it is honest, in Russia there is no normal plant on production of vinyl.

There is no point to make vinyl of digital sources...

When I went to Russia, I saw at Gorbushka (Moskwa) some vynil reissues such as Avgust, Skoraya Pomosh, Chernyii Kofe and a lot more....they look like recent/new reissues made a few time ago

Are they legit or bootleg? And if you say there isn't a real market and a real factory in Russia for vynils, where are they made?

[Виталий Steel]

Reprintings vinyl of Russian groups? It can't be!

[jnfernal]

Yes, yes! I've seen them at Gorbushka last March 2012....Avgust (1st + 2nd), Chernyii Kofe (Golden Lady) and other! I think they are quite new reprints...they did not look old at all!

[Виталий Steel]

It something from level of science fiction! Really - there can not be it new. Simply well remained.

The only thing that I can tell, so it that at us in the country again paid attention to vinyl. The "Melody" firm will republish to a bark that from the catalog, also Korrozia Metalla published recently some albums on plates.

Melodiya Records is still active?

[Виталий Steel]

Itself shocked However, "Melody" by never ceased to work. Simply she was engaged in only classical music.
