In brief: the first "Kino" album. Recorded at Antrop studio in 1982, remastered at SBI studio in 1996. At that time "Kino" was made up of Victor Tsoi and Alexey RYBIN (Ryba); accompanying them in '45' were Grebenshikov, Andrew Romanov, Seva Gakkel and Michael Vassiliev. The title '45' was chosen according to the total time of the album, but the song "I'm the asphalt" was not included in the final release. So this album could be titled "42". In this version "I'm the asphalt" stands as bonus track, so it's absolutely in proper place.

Quots: "When I hear a classic song I know it's classic. And when I see some unknown guys singing a set of classic songs - I'm stunned" (Boris Grebenshikov) "The first Vitya's album is pure barocco. It has nothing to do with contemporary music, because it's very romantic. It has much in common with AQUARIUM recordins of that time. Of course it's not just feeble imitation, but it actually has the same spirit. And the same sound, because the sound of Tropillo studio differs from all the others. The melodics of '45' is absolutely traditional. In fact these are urban songs. ( Alexander TITOV ) For example, one of the soviet rock-musicians sings about aluminium cucumbers - what's it all about? (from a newspaper)

Feelings: naive romantic songs of a teenager.
