This quote from Wikipedia says SNC Records was a legitimate label that published licensed music. Should I move the SNC Tin Machine II album from the pirates section of the Vinyl albums discography to the official albums section?
SNC records was established by Stas Namin in spring of 1990 and immediately swept the Soviet market. SNC records was the only competitor to the Melodiya company. The company catalogue includes records of almost all of the rock stars of Soviet times.
It was the first private company in the history of the USSR. SNC Records shook the long-term monopoly of the state company Melodiya and laid the foundations of free competition and independent show-business. The first vinyl records produced by SNC Records appeared in spring of 1990. These records were “Kaoma” and “Rock in support of Armenia”.
SNC Records was the first company in the record business and in its country that was officially given an award by a foreign company, Castle Communications (Great Britain). The GOLDEN DISK was awarded to the independent record company for issuing the first set of licensed records such as Black Sabbath and others.
