Bayan Mongol Variety Group
The Bayan Mongol Variety Group
A long-awaited reissue of a unique and only album of a legendary Mongolian ensemble. The self-titled album first time was released on vinyl in 1980 by the Soviet label Melodia and due to a huge demand was urgently re-pressed again in 1981. A musical pearl in the vein of Dos-Mukasan, Firyuza, Soyol Erdene, and Gunesh. Now EBALUNGA!!! is happy to present the first vinyl reissue of the album and the first time with a correct photo on the front cover. Released in 1980 and 1981 vinyl versions were pressed with the wrong photos on a cover. Melodia has mixed-up photos of 2 Mongolian bands Soyol Erdene and The Bayan Mongol Variety Group. So the Soyol Erdene LP was published with a photo of The Bayan Mongol Variety Group and opposite The Bayan Mongol Variety Group - LPs with a photo of Soyol Erdene. The Bayan Mongol Variety Group existed from the early '70s to the late '80s. After the collapse of the USSR, the ensemble began to experience serious difficulties with funding and booking concerts, and finally disintegrated, after which the participants lost contact with each other. Fortunately, thanks to efforts from the fans, some old contacts were reestablished, key records and sound sources were dug up, and now this historical record is released again. File under funk, jazz-rock, prog rock, or psychedelic rock.
