The label is also known as Home Collection or Home Coll.
Домашняя Коллекция was a pirate MP3-CD-ROM label, gathering albums from people, encoding them and making MP3 compilations with similar inlay design - an artist photo, usually copied from the Internet, artist name and series color stripes, depending on the type of music contained on CD-ROM.
There are four series:
Красная серия: the red series for all kinds of rock and pop artists.
Черная серия: the black series for extreme music, like metal and industrial.
Серия "Джаз": the jazz series.
Серия "Блюз": the blues series.
Although the date on the most releases ends on 2004, these CDs are still reprinted today on (& sometimes under different label names and with different artwork).
I'm really surprised seeing such a "label" here. This pirate label already dead for more than 10 years. I've got about at least hundred of those MP3 CDs. Probably, I can gift 'em for everyone, who needs. For me those cds just like a memory, so that's why I keep 'em. This "label" appeared in early 00s in Russia/CIS. The emergence, the very possibility of occurrence of this "label" was dictated by market conditions - everyone wanted to listen to something "new", "interesting", sometimes "unusual", but were unable to find. I think, I won't lie, if I say that in those days in Russia, 95% of music lovers hasn't got good internet or internet at all, has no possibility to buy licensed audio and video products, as well as - books, zines, etc. People those days were engaged in rather of survivalism (near that), so being able to have a few CDs/LPs. And if you'll think about young blood - we weren't able to have even a CD (only a pirate one). Actually, for many, the fact of existence of those "releases" (inside every CD there were:some albums (MP3 192 to 320), covers, translations of articles and interviews, biography, discography, photos of band/performers/musicians) was a kind of stepping stone or the door to a new hobby of "underground" music, ambient music, jazz, etc. In fact, such "releases" have formed the basis of modern Russian musical market. I suppose, thanks to those releases, it led in some way to extent forming of shape, even musical tastes of contemporary musicians, some fan communities were formed, because everyone after buying such a CD have copied it, and pass to another mate to check it out. The fact that someone STILL selling those old releases right now, through this resource - it is all about a tribute to our youth, our memories, nostalgia. I suppose, if those releases have been never sold in early 00s I would never heard about Burzum, Current 93 and Led Zeppelin at age of 12/13 y.o.
Also, I must say, that nowadays the very possibility of the appearance of such a label - is 100% not possible, the market has changed, and all similar stories have sunk into oblivion.
Не шипите. В нулевых это была чуть-ли не единственная возможность купить любимую музыку (а не ширпотреб, которым повсеместно торговали, кстати тоже пираты). При этом качество звука было относительно хорошим (на порядок лучше, чем аналогичные издания, типа той же "Фонотеки в кармане").
Огромный выбор материала, фото, тексты и биографии любимых групп и исполнителей на диске, не говоря уже про заводскую штамповку и полиграфию — все это производило приятное впечатление!
I don't understand why is possible to sale this pirates items here at Discogs, place where apparently "lives" the collectors of music, that hates download albums through the www, and prefers to buy original items... in spite of to have free downloads at your disposal, and on this way to respect the musical industry (above all the underground scene) and to the artists.
I can to understand the free and public download of albums (separately or in block, like in this case) through blogs, etc., but i can't understand how and why is allowed here to sale illegal compilations, with profit for the delinquent seller, and with the collaboration of my beloved Discogs, in this disgusting sales. Such a shame!
I known that is hard to ask STOP this illegal sales of this "label", probably due to legal affairs, but it made me feel sick. Really is necessary a report of each label or each artist, owners of his copyrights?
These releases was made in times when internet access in Russia and CIS countries was very limited and VERY expensive. So there was the only chance to get and listen some hard to find albums.
Now the reasons to buy these releases are just to collect ALL available stuff from your favorite band.
The CDs are factory pressed, includie lyrics, tabs, some bands photos, biogrpahies and videos. They are compatible with CD-MP3 portable players. Bitrate varies from 128 kbits (old releases) to 320 kbits (latest releases), but mostly use MP3 192 kbits with tags
An MP3 collection of previously released material hardly constitutes a "release." Obviously, the albums chosen for these collections are often collectible, rare, limited or somewhat difficult to come by which makes these collections somewhat convenient, but ultimately just... lame.
Purchasing collections of this type is infinitely more insulting then downloading them illegally, which is probably what these guys did in the first place. Why allow someone to profit off the work of another? Save your money and spend it on something legitimate.
