I agree with Christopher... sounds like what they call "bootleg" CDs... but the description is interesting... they seem to create a large amount of limited number of copies releases....
Masterpieces of Ukrainian Music. Collection. 6 CDs box-set.
the series is released in a limited number of copies – and as of today very few complete sets of this collection are available.
Probably, we should still say: these discs were not intended for sale, initially they were released only for the sake of presentation. But, fortunately, corporate schemes are not absolute yet – that is why various pleasant violations of rules are possible. And in this case this has resulted in that fans interested can now hold in their hands the wonderful series of discs containing truly valuable Ukrainian music.
It is not only interesting, but also pleasant to know that – guess who – Oleg Skrypka himself made a direct contribution into compilation of absolutely all discs of the "Masterpieces of Ukrainian Music" series. Considering that it was his recording house "Kraina Mriy" that has been working over the series – that is, actually, not surprising. But, in any case, it is nice to see that Skrypka has revealed an outstanding awareness of the material. You should also take into account how extensive the palette of themes selected has appeared – and not hackneyed, by the way... We believe that when working over these compilations, he had a lot of interesting discoveries for himself – and we have no doubt that for the future audience of these discs these discoveries may appear no less interesting...

Is this 6-CD set the one you were talking about at the top of this thread? It's announced here -
