A copy of the 13 track Russian Only release, well it was at the time, Choba B CCCP with a hand full of bonus tracks. I find the switch to Tragedy and the other bonus tracks to be jarring and a detraction from the original album tracks.
Interestingly the rarity of the original LQ Russian vinyl led to several cd and vinyl counterfeits , but almost a decade on you should expect to pay several times more for this CD pirate than for an original record. The original records now sell for as little as $3 with some versions being more desirable than others. For collectors of of originals I have a printable guide to the pressing/label variations
The Illegal Beatles, publication, Issue 16 update is a very scant review merely confirming that it is the Choba B CCCP track listing and then listed tracks 14-20 , stating that they have been copied from a a title previously reviewed , All The Rest - Love Records. However this title does not contain Tragedy , so we have to treat this review as seen but not heard. In the letters column of a latter issue 'Chip ' is reported as stating that this version sounds better than the Hocus Pocus release. But that answer is merely answering a question not reviewing all pirate CD release of the obscure release. Until the official release by MPL in 1991 the core choice for Choba B CCCP was the Back in The USSR - BJP 0420 release.
I suspect from the style, time of release and pressing plant that this is one of the latter 'Wizardo'/Toasted CD releases. I'll add more once my investigations have been completed
