Zhopa (Russian: Жопа, literally: arse) is a studio album by Auktyon, recorded in 1990.[1]
Composition
[edit]Soviet and Russian journalist Andrey Burlaka described Zhopa and the follow-up release Bodun (1991) as mid-tempo, filled with detailed instrumental solos as well as counterpoints between guitar, keys, and windinsruments.[2]
Release and reception
[edit]In 1990, the album was released in a truncated form and was called Duplo (hollow). It got its current name in the 1992 CD reissue of this album.[2] The album was named after the body-part that Auktyon dancer Vladimir Veselkin displayed regularly during performances by the band during their 1989 overseas tour which received media attention within the USSR.[3] On December 30, 2011, it was reissued with bonuses: recordings of Auktyon's performances at the Theater on Fontanka (01/20/1990) and in Togliatti (09/08/1990), at the VIII Leningrad Rock Festival (03/12/1991) and the Rock of Pure Water festival in Volgograd (05/22/1990).[4][5]
As in previous albums, the songwriter was Leonid Fedorov. The authorship of the lyrics belongs to Oleg Garkusha (except for the song "Yabeda" - its text was written by Dmitry Ozersky).
