CD-Maximum

One of the leading Russian labels, active since 1997. Unlike many of its contemporaries, their label adheres more to policy of complying with both International and Russian copyright laws. They have, however, issued many bootlegs and pirated material as well. When signing exclusive manufacturing, marketing & distribution deals with foreign labels in Europe, Asia & North America, CD-Maximum agrees to sell their legally licensed, re-packaged, re-labeled merchandise within Russia, CIS and the Baltic States only and will not export their moderately priced products abroad. CD-Maximum's A&R department has signed numerous Russian bands to their label, and promotes and distributes those works internationally. Known in Russian as СД-Максимум.
