En la Rusia posterior a la SGM, Stalin prohibió la posesión de cualquier música occidental. 

Todos los registros permitidos en el país tenían que ser de compositores rusos. Pero había un mercado hambriento de música popular occidental.

Pero el contrabando de vinilos era peligroso y adquirir el escaso material para hacer copias de discos que llegaban al país era muy arriesgado.

Una solución a este problema surgió en forma de "música de huesos", o en ocasiones llamada música de "bones n ribs".

Un joven ingeniero de sonido de 19 años, Ruslan Bogoslowski de Leningrado, cambió las reglas del juego cuando creó un dispositivo para piratear música occidental para poder distribuirla por Rusia. El problema era que no podía encontrar material sobre el que copiar sus impresiones, el vinilo escaseaba al igual que todos los productos derivados del petróleo. 

Entonces, un día se topó con una pila de radiografías desechadas y funcionó! En ese momento, la ley ordenaba que todos los rayos X tuvieran que ser destruidos después de 1 año de almacenamiento porque eran inflamables, así que buscó en los contenedores de basura y pagó a los enfermeros por las placas y durante 20 años hizo alrededor de 1,000,000 de copias en placas de rayos X, desde lo clásico hasta los Beach Boys.

Y que dicho sea de paso, estuvo cinco años preso en Siberia por esta rebelión (nadie tiene una noción de lo que era una prisión en Siberia con -30°C la mayor parte del año).

Durante años, Bone Music fue la única forma en que los amantes rusos de la música, podían obtener música occidental, que tocaban en fiestas de música y café y en sus cocinas, lejos de los oídos y los ojos de la KGB.

Esta es una grabación de 78 rpm de la canción india "Awara" de Raj Kapoor en una radiografía de tórax expuesta. Probablemente alrededor de 1951. Cada disco estaba hecho artesanalmente.

Un testimonio del coraje clandestino para subvertir la autoridad, la rebelión y el amor por la música.

El espíritu del Rock & Roll.
