Reissue of Full Discography of Rock Band 'ddt'

While the attention of fans of "DDT" is attracted to the new album of the band "Otherwise / PS" and a grand tour in his support, with which Yury Shevchuk promised to travel around the country for at least two years and actively fulfills his promise, the reissue of the full discography of the legendary rock The team, started by the company "Navigator records", remained virtually unnoticed.

Nevertheless, on the shelves of music stores you can already find part of the albums "DDT", which has long become a classic of Russian rock music, in a somewhat updated form. However, the update touched only the appearance of the discs, no surprises in the form of previously unknown entries or unpublished drafts, there are no reprints on the re-releases.

All the disks of the series are made in the form of the fashionable digipack format, which gradually displaces the standard plastic boxes from the market. No colorful booklets with lyrics and archive photos to the discs are attached. However, the early editions of these albums did not indulge admirers with riot of colors and quality of polygraphy, yet the most valuable thing in them was the content of the songs.

The sound of the albums remained the same. That is, the publisher did not deem it necessary to do the remastering possible today and to subject the phonograms of the restoration, thus effectively nullifying the collection value of the product. Although many records, including the epoch-making "Black Dog Petersburg" and "World Number Zero," remastered would not hurt, because. In the original they sound pretty quiet. On the other hand, the original sound of old recordings causes a nostalgic mood, and nostalgia is a very powerful feeling.

Nevertheless, the reissue of the entire DDT catalog is correct. Circulations of many albums of the group have long been sold out, and despite the fall of the CD market, there is still a demand for products among music lovers, fortunately. Return and the fashion for vinyl records, although the group "DDT" released on vinyl only two albums. Not all today's fans listen to the band since its foundation, which means that many records that should be in the music library of any fan of the collective, they may not have. And finally, there was an opportunity to improve the situation.
