Description
Ultra rare and possibly unique this is a fantastic example of Soviet Era Bone Music from the 60’s and 70’s where, due to western music being outlawed, copies of popular songs were written to x-rays and sold on the black market.
About this record:
hear a sound sample: https://youtu.be/yuBERQ-f7Aw
This is Red House By Jimi Hendrix
Measures approximately 8 inch in diameter
Possession of these could result in 2 years imprisonment.
They are very rare as they were flimsy, easily destroyed and most were thrown away once Vinyl and CDs made their way into Russia.
Please note: These are not the greatest sounding records. They were made to be listened to in secret by music lovers who were discovering the Beatles, led zeppelin, pink Floyd and the Rolling Stones.
Please watch the video to hear the quality and see how the needle moves.
There is an art to playing these. The spindle hole is generally too wide and needs careful lining up. Even if you get this right the needle will move around, but the sound is surprisingly good given how it was made:
