Melvins Russian Flexidiscs

[jules]

Does anyone have any information concerning the origin of the Russian flexis I have?
Four are shown here; I have 11 in all:

Lovely Bicycle (actually Lovely Butterfly)
Magic Pig Detective
Goin' Blind
Buck Owens
G.I Joe
Ligature
Set Me Straight
Bar (actually Bar-X The Rocking M)
Anaconda
As Was It
Okie From Muskogee

I'd be interested to know if there are any more, how many were made, anything really!

A russian bassist would be fun for that band.

I'm pretty sure that the guy that sells them also makes them.

It's russian illegal company Budkon (Будкон). They made some multicolor flexidiscs of Rolling Stones, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Frank Zappa, Nirvana, etc. in the end of 80's - 90's. I've never seen it, but I'd take.
