The Dark Side Of The Moon - Pink Floyd - Russia (1992)

This album was produced by the Center of rock'n'roll congregations of united Evangelist-Lutheran churches of Russia, St. Petersburg. This release was not official. It does not include the phrase "There is no Dark Side of the Moon ... " at the end of the record. No such organization exists. This name and the phrase "Recorded from radio broadcast" (found on the records labels) were put there by AnTrop to resolve copyright problems, should such occur. On different records, this phrase might read slightly different.

AnTrop was named after the legendary Russian underground producer and sound engineer, Andrey Tropillo, who in 1990, on the wave of "perestroika," became the head of the St. Petersburg branch of Melodia. Since there was much turmoil in Russia at the time, he made the St. Petersburg branch independent of central headquarters and started releasing a series of classic Rock albums. These releases were not legitimate. They started with releases by The Beatles, Jesus Christ - Superstar, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and eventually Pink Floyd. All these records were released using Melodia facilities, but AnTrop was operating as an independent record label and was putting the Antrop logo and their own numbers and copyrights on the covers. However, since all the records were printed in Melodia owned and run facilities, AnTrop had to give its releases additional Melodia catalog numbers, which is why there are both catalog numbers on the releases. Antrop is the label that released most of the Pink Floyd albums in Russia. "P" in the AnTrop catalog numbers stands for Russian letter "P" (that looks like Greek "Pi").
