Rainbow Ensemble 🇷🇺 USSR Melodiya Vinyl LP 1988 Hard Rock EX 🎸

🎸🇷🇺 Rainbow Ensemble — USSR Melodiya Vinyl (1988) This is not just a Rainbow album — it’s a cult Soviet-era pressing with a story behind it. Released by Melodiya (USSR) under license from Polydor International (Hamburg), this record represents a rare crossover between Western hard rock and the Eastern Bloc vinyl world. Collectors value these pressings for their unique history, distinctive labels, and that unmistakable Soviet aesthetic. Ordinary listeners love it for the same reason they love Rainbow anywhere in the world: powerful riffs, epic melodies, and timeless hard rock energy. 💿 Why collectors look for it: • 🇷🇺 original USSR Melodiya press • licensed Western release — not a standard UK/EU issue • increasingly hard to find in such clean condition • strong shelf appeal with authentic Soviet artwork 🎶 Why listeners enjoy it: • classic Rainbow tracks with real punch • warm, dynamic analogue sound • perfect both for focused listening and relaxed vinyl sessions 🔍 Condition (honest & clear) 🔹 Vinyl: EX (Excellent) Looks and plays very close to new. Clean, glossy surface, no visible scratches. Playback is quiet and stable, no skips, no distortion — clear, rich sound with strong dynamics. 🔹 Sleeve: VG Good visual condition with light edge/corner wear from age. Minor storage traces may be present. Seams intact, artwork and text remain clear and readable. 🧼 Care & protection I treat every record with respect. This copy comes with a new inner sleeve for the vinyl and a new protective outer sleeve for the cover. Any original inserts that are present are carefully kept and placed inside. Even non-mint records deserve proper care. 📦 Carefully packed, shipped safely, ready for a serious collection or everyday listening.#Rainbow#Melodiya#USSRVinyl#SovietPressing#HardRock#ClassicRock#VintageVinyl#RareVinyl#VinylCollector
