100 magnetic albums of Soviet rock. Selected pages of the history of domestic rock. 1977-1991: 15 years of underground recording

Twenty years later, the "bible of tape culture" dedicated to the golden age of underground recording from 1977 to 1991 is being republished. The author of key books on the history of domestic rock Alexander Kushnir has researched these times for many years when "amplifiers burned out, homemade guitars broke on the floor, speakers flew out of boxes, audiences - out of windows, administration - out of work". Those creating outside the system at that time, Mike Naumenko, BG, Shevchuk, Makarevich, Kinchev, Butusov, Mamonov, and Yegor Letov recorded great albums "on their knees". The generation of the 80s lived fully without MTV and social media, eagerly listening to these unique masterpieces through "word-of-mouth internet", copying them from cassette to cassette. "Radio Africa", "Blood Type", "Separation", "District Town N", "Russian Field of Experiments".
One hundred captivating stories about the heroes of the "Soviet rock underground" appear remarkably relevant today, as these artifacts were created not for charts but for eternity.
