They say in business that the more formal the hierachy, the more informal the communication. Maybe they were passing the Beatles songs via the underground?



The Russian kids were re-recording (actually "needling" the Beatle's music) (someone give me the right word) onto X-ray media (meaning those pieces of material that X-rays are printed on). They were flexible, i.e., foldable, and they'd keep them up their sleeves. On the streets, they'd sell a song thusly imprinted (Love Me Do, e.g.) for 3 rubles. These were playable on turntables.

Actually an amazing documentary. The Russian leadership appeared to be afraid of the power of ... the sound, the message, the difference, the influence?... of this new music.



I always did say Rock-n-Roll, pizza, and coke did more to stop communism than guns and bombs.

Like the man said, "ain't that a kick in the head!"
