I have some other Russian / Ukraine music media myself and . . well . . . usually the ones with the certain holograms are like licensed in some way by someone somewhere . Which isn't to suggest anything as in whats legit or not just an observation from other artists items i have which are official releases . Is the hologram on cover plastic , hard plastic or tape itself ? Also funny you mention the Russian one as i've been wondering if the Ukraine tape is legit ?All this reminds me there is a good show on some insight into the Russian music scene called How The Beatles Rocked The Kremlin

It is under the plastic wrap, adhered to the hard plastic case.

I did a little research and found the most likely place the patch would have come from was an AWACS squadron based in Germany. So I figured what the heck, I'll send a letter to the commanding general's office of that area and see if I could get some more information. That was a few weeks ago. I just got this response.
Classification: NATO UNCLASSIFIED releasable to INTERNET Good morning Sir, please excuse my late reply to your inquiry but I was otherwise involved and had no time to take care of it. There is a very simple explanation to how and why the patch was created back in the days. Alizee was some years ago in Mazar-e-Sharif to "entertain" the troops with her famous music. Based on that event numerous patches from all different units working down there were created with using the red fish as a symbol for Alizee. There was never an official patch created based on that. Please contact me for any further questions... Best Regards, Stabsfeldwebel Ingo Senft, OW3B Deutsche Luftwaffe No. 3 Squadron EXEC / NATO medal POC / ST-scheduling Deputy CSE ST Evaluator Ext: 0049/2451-63***** Mobile: 0049/157316***** Now I find it hard to believe she was in Afghanistan, mainly because I'm sure we would've heard about it. If she did go , it would have been mostly to support French troops, but most likely she would have seen troops from several countries. Still I don't believe she was there and am wondering if this guy is just b s ing me or has her confused with someone else. |

Mentioning the red fish makes it pretty clear that he is talking about Alizée. However, I agree with you that the location is suspect. Then again, you never know. Often these types of activities are not advertised. She would have been 18 at the time, a perfect age to go see the troops, so who knows.
What is interesting is that he said that there were several different patches made by various groups. Perhaps another patch will turn up.

But if she saw the troops when she was 18, why does this patch say 2012? That's got to be the year. Of course like you said, he said several patches supposedly were made. Next time I see her, I'll have to ask her.

The best possibility is that you talked to a lunatic old man I think. Im very curious now.

Scruffydog, you've got to love the Military the commanding generals secretary probably passed it down to the NCO that sent you the reply. At least they were nice enough to spend the time on the response.

Maybe if Jenny saw this, I could ask her to give him a call, telling him "We need confirmation!". Being from Germany might give her some extra pull. I'd pay for the call. Of course some guys from Seal team 6 might show up at her front door the next morning but those are the risks you take when you're an Alizée fan.

Talking of Alizée stuff from the East, this one is from Ukraine:
Unlike in the case of Lucas's tape from Russia, there are no remix tracks but at least the order of them was changed, no "direct rip from MCE". As for more legal stuff, a few weeks ago I became a proud owner of a Gourmandises tape. Got no device to play it, though [img]Looks exactly like this so pardon my being too lazy to take a photo of my own copy. Of course, there's a booklet with the photoshoot and the lyrics inside.
