The rough demo version was recorded in the Latvian village Plieņciems and according to the guitarist of the group Yuri Kasparyan, finished on the 14th of August that year - the day before the death of the frontman Viktor Tsoi in a car crash.

The remaining members of Kino completed the album as a tribute to Tsoi.

The album's producer Yuri Aizenshpis[4] said that the demo tape survived inside Tsoi's car when he crashed fatally, however the band's guitarist, Yuri Kasparyan, has disputed this and stated that it was in his own car and not Tsoi's.

On this original vinyl issue, no track names were given, just the text Producer: Yu.

[5] In 2021, the original album was remastered and reissued by Maschina Records;[6] Yuri Kasparyan, Igor Tikhomirov [ru], and Viktor Tsoi's son, Alexander, were involved in the production and approval process.
