Heavy Metal from the USSR

Sometimes I find something accidentally on Pirate Bay or wherever, that I just cannot wait to share with everyone.....I haven't listened to this (I will by the time it's posted), I happened over this comp and totally freaked, seems to be taylor-made for this blog....I still have that huge (100+ albums) of Greek punk, STILL want to post it, the problem is the names/titles etc are in Greek, not just language but FONT so I can't really even ask for translation help as I can't replicate the titles on my good ol' USA keyboard......anyway, is was just poking around and found this collection, sounds AWESOME, I know what I will be listening to on the to and from commute tomorrow.

OK, listened to these today...they are just OK, not going into heavy rotation around here anytime soon, but as a curiosity, this is just the thing.....alot of it sounds REALLY slickly produced, reminding me of maybe Scorpions, or Judas Priest after they got suckish, American bands like (gag) Poison......a few others get a little more "thrashy" or punkish, but for the most part it sounds a lot like the slick hair metal of the 1980's that I dislike in general .....NOT great albums, but TOTALLY great novelties/curiosities......see what you think!
