Lots of older individuals in Russia remember seeing and hearing mystical vinyl flexi-discs when they were young. They had partial images of skeletons on them, might be played like gramophone records and were called ‘bones’ or ‘ribs’. They contained forbidden music. X-Ray Audio tells the secret history of these ghostly records and of individuals who made, purchased and offered them. Lavishly illustrated completely colour with images of discs collected in Russia, it is a distinct story of forbidden culture, bootleg innovation and human endeavour.
