According to Discogs, BudKon or буд кон is a Russian record label, located either in Kaliningrad
or St. Petersburg in Russia. Its releases are all unofficial, and available mostly through Polish record sellers.
The name буд кон (sometimes printed as one word: будкон) translates to BUDKON, but has no meaning
either in Russian or Polish. буд кон has released hundreds of flexis by - among others - The Sisters of Mercy,
since at least the 1990's, possibly in the 1980's when Russia was still part of the Soviet Union.
All буд кон releases are flexis, square-shaped 14 cm. X 14 cm. (5.5" x 5.5") and
released as multicoloured releases: transparent, red, green, yellow, blue, and brown.
Usually, at least three variations (one transparent and two coloured versions, sometimes three coloured versions)
are released. Most of them, but not all run at 45 rpm.
The sleeve is a black and white computer printout, usually highly pixelated, and a completely random image
having nothing to do with the band or their music. The thin paper sleeve wraps around the flexi about a third
of the back to let show the colour of the individual flexi disc and is held in a thin plastic envelope.
Current reissues of these flexis are obvious, since they come in still b/w, but in no way pixelated, paper printout sleeves.
It is not clear, though, whether these reissues are made by буд кон themselves or by any random seller taking advantage
of the services of flexi production units worldwide.
The pictures here represent only a small selection of flexis released by BudKon that feature songs of The Sisters of Mercy.
For a commprehensive overview please check our list of Russian Flexis and the individual pages for each release.
