Release history

The album was first released in 1989 on cassette and reel-to-reel, sold at the band's concerts. It did not receive a proper release until 1993, when Moroz Records released it on vinyl. The 1993 re-release cover art depicts a solar eclipse. In 1995, the album was released in Germany on CD. The album received its first Russian CD release in 1996.

In 2019, the original album was remastered and reissued by Maschina Records.[2][3] Yuri Kasparyan, Igor Tikhomirov, and Viktor Tsoi's son, Alexander, were involved in the production and approval process.[4]
