Legendary Soviet Recordings (Yedang Version CDs)

~ Release by Various Artists (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

I'm adding this release from Yedang. Various of the tracks have be previously released, but not all, as far as I can tell. These were remastered by Pipeline originally for the ill-fated Revelation label. This version has some different ordering.
In cases where the Revelation recordings were in MB database, I have matched the tracks to those recordings. In other cases, I have matched the tracks to other previously released material from various earlier releases found on other archive releases from Russia/Soviet Union. Some of these recordings were not found previously in the MB database, so I have added new recordings.
Arguably, each of these recordings might be a new recording due to the extensive remastering, but in the interests of getting the release in with correct relationships for almost 1000 tracks I have used the earlier recordings.

Note that many of the tracks have German names for the keys, whereas the release actually uses the English version of the keys. I have corrected a few in passing, but that is an effort for another day.
