The following text in Russian can be found on back covers: " Лицензионное соглашение № 2165/M3-97 ". 2165/M3-97 is the ID of the license agreement between РАО (Russian Authors' Society) and the label, which allowed the label to release CDs for the Russian market. But it was reported that actually no money were paid to the Western rights owners, so this label's releases should be considered unofficial.
