In 1999, Nashe Radio placed the song "Blood Type" in the first place at "100 Best Songs of ruzzian Rock in the 20th Century".

The second official re-release on vinyl of the debut full-length studio album by legendary Soviet New Wave/Post-Punk Rock band.
The album was recorded together with musicians from the Aquarium band, and released on reels in 1982. At that time, Kino consisted of only two members: Viktor Tsoi and Alexey Rybin; the musicians were not yet widely known and the opportunity to record the material accumulated over three years was obtained thanks to the assistance of Boris Grebenshchikov. The album was mixed underground - in the House of Pioneers, where Andrey Tropillo set up a semi-legal recording studio "AnTrop".
"Forty Five" was one of the first Rock albums in the Soviet Union to use a drum machine instead of a real drum-kit. In addition to acoustic, electric and bass guitars, flute, cello, and bells were actively used to create the required sound.
It's the only studio work in the band's discography in which Alexey Rybin took part, since due to ideological differences with Viktor Tsoi, he soon left Kino, and the two musicians never met again on purpose - they only crossed paths a couple of times at mixed concerts ("solyankas"), but never spoke to each other.
Unlike the other albums of the band, "Forty Five" was not released on vinyl until 2012. During the recording, a significant technical error was made, which did not allow the material to be reissued in the gramophone record format in the future, and until 1994 it existed only on the reel. In the mid-1990s, the Moroz Records produced several reissues in digital form on CD. In 2012, the album was first released on vinyl by Moroz Records, with digital remastering in a limited edition of 1,000 copies.
Many of the songs on the album gained great popularity, were included in numerous compilations, and became part of the band's concert repertoire until its breakup in 1990.
There are two fundamental differences between this release and previous versions of the album: the album is released for the first time at the correct speed (on all previous editions it was considerably overstated), and also for the first time an original collage was used for the design. You will learn about all the other nuances from the booklet, included in this release, and also in the accompanying video review.
Restored from the original master tapes, Limited Edition Premium Quality Heavyweight 200-gram Audiophile Pressing Black Vinyl in gatefold cover includes 12-page 12"x12" full-colour booklet.
