USSR state label founded in 1964. Now - Russian label. The label is also known as Melodiya or Melodya, Melodia, Melodija, Melody. These Latin transliterations should all be entered here, do not create a separate profile for them. Label Code: LC 6969 / LC 06969. It was the only record label operating in the USSR beyond 1964 (the state had a number of record labels operating prior to 1964), but ceased to be state-owned when the USSR collapsed. Export releases were issued in full colour sleeves and (normally) English translations while most domestic copies had generic paper sleeves. via Discogs →
