The front side of the envelope has two versions - with the image of the band members in spacesuits on the background of the cover (most likely a limited edition or export version), and without the image of the band members. On the reverse side of the disc there is an introductory speech by A. Baumanis. The compositions "Laser Illumination", "Silver Dream", "In the Light of Saturn" and "Flight over El Dorado" were written for the short documentary "Star Palette", where they were used in parts. The song "The Other Side of the Sky" was originally called "Karate", but the subsequent persecution of this sport forced the name of the track to be changed. The track "Mysterious Galaxy" was used in the animated film "The Meeting" (1984, produced by Kyivnauchfilm), in the TV show "Sportloto", as well as in the program "Search" on Russian Radio. According to the Melodiya company, 1,703,800 copies of the record were sold by August 26, 1983. ...more
