Melodiya LPs from this period document that transition, from classic estrada to glossy synth-pop. The lot also includes compilations such as the \"Signal\" series, popular with listeners at the time and with sample-hunting producers today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIgor Nikolaev, \"Fantastika\" (Фантастика)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSofia Rotaru, \"Lavender\"-era pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhilip Kirkorov, early career release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVyacheslav Dobrynin, \"Magic Lake\" (Колдовское озеро)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYadviga Poplavskaya and Alexander Tikhanovich (ex-Verasy)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"For You, Women\" (Для Вас, Женщины), themed compilation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Tender Melody\" (Нежная Мелодия), instrumental \/ pop compilation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Signal 3\" (Сигнал 3), electronic \/ pop compilation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompilation of various 80s hits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFree worldwide shipping\u003c\/strong\u003e from Ukraine with a tracking number.
