Kolya Vasin is a nice freak . Most of the Beatles LPs issued on Melodia came from his "personal collection". Melodia also add his face on the cover of Sgt. Peppers. Do not want to judge, but this seems strange to me, from moral point of view. But hey, that was bootleg and they did not discuss the legal issues with EMI

... Though I do not read in french but I got something. Also, I am not russian, but ukranian. That is a big difference, you know
Ooops Sorry, hope you'll forgive me
By the way, all three discs you post in your blog came from different soviet factories.
#4 looks like one of the early pressings from Aprelevskiy zavod (small city Aprelevka in Moscow region)- the oldest an the largest soviet LP factory.
#5 seems like the first pressing that was on sale in Ukraine - the cover is dark brown and the apple is red. I have that one. Though I could make a mistake judging the scan. It was produced at Moscow LP factory.
#12 came from Leningrad LP factory. As a matter of fact, I never saw LP with such an apple. Mine is definitively from another pressing from Moscow factory.
Much appreciated

...I plan to visit Ukraine during X-mass holidays. Do you want me to take pictures for your blog? I have few very strange Stones LP's in my collection issued in former USSR.
The name of the record company. It can be transliterated different ways. Probably Melodiya is the best. Melodya does not look good to me. One open sound is missing in the end.

Why do you think I became Rolling Stones fan? . Definitively they met some ukranian girl in their past. Marianne Faithfull's maternal great-great-uncle was Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. That guy spent good part of his life in Lvov - the city in Western Ukraine (Austrian city in 19th century). .[/quote
Yeah, besides the great music, they wrote so well for our many youthful tribulations.....and Leopold Von Sacher-Masoch.... what a name!
