First Russian CD
These are photos of first Russian CD.
In Russia common people didn’t have cd players untill mid 90s, so in later 80s there were no Russian music discs at all.
This was the first one produced by Russian music company “Melodia”. You can read the contents on the pictures - it was both on English and Russian language because it was mainly for export - nobody in Russia was in need of cd’s.

Wow. A rare item. I wonder if USSR had it`s own domain on the internets. Like .ru now, or .fr, .nl etc.
Yes, the top level domain for the Soviet Union was .su
Apparently some Russian sites still use it, I’ve seen it around.
And then there’s the Kremvax usenet hoax from 1984, purportedly the first Soviet node on Usenet: http://www.godfatherof.nl/kremvax.html
What does the CD contain ?? Is it an opera or something like that ??

I have a US Pressed recording of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition which is co-branded with Melodiya on 12″ vinyl. I always assumed that Columbia probably gave Melodiya some recording equipment that was worth having in exchange for the rights to publish that Soviet recording. I’ve also got a copy of Paul McCartney’s Soviet album release, also on Melodiya.
I am not sure it’s the first CD. I guess it’s the 7th, as its code is “SUCD 10 - 00007″, not “SUCD 10 - 00001″!

I wonder if anyone has ripped that.
That`s not true about Tchaikovsky being first among first SUCD 10-00001.
Before that there was 180 SUCD`s printed, and they was “Roxette” albums! LoL.
Who the hell are you that makes fun of Russia?
Why don’t you send videos,photos,and stories about U.S. Then we’ll laugh together. Do not under estimate stupidity of U.S people and life stile. Don’t dig so far.It’s in your back yard.

[...] English Russia vahendab meile pildid väidetavalt esimesest Venemaal jaemüüki suunatud muusika CD kohta. Tegu oli kuulsa Melodia nimelise plaadifirma toodanguga aastal 1989. Ja oli trükitud kahes keeles kuna oli peamiselt mõeldud ekspordiks, Nõukogude Liidus mis veel mõned aastad eksisteeris polnud lihtsalt kellegil vaja muusika CD-d sest neil polnud seda millegagi kuulata.

On my first visit to Leningrad in 1990 I was discreetly offered the McCartney Soviet Album by a trader in the Gostinnyi Dvor. I was not too interested and then he showed me the Sikhira CD. Although this is not everyday stuff, I have really come to like this music. The Stikhira by Ivan the Terrible, although I understand but a few scattered words, have a mesmerizing effect, especially when I am in a contemplative mood. Russia is a great country to long for.
In 1991 we went on our honeymoon to Moscow, and GUM had Melodya Cds of Tchaikovsky, Bach and Rakhmaninov in stock.
