This study focuses primarily on reconstructing the operation of these markets. It examines various kinds of trade within this environment, from exchanges between visitors to lucrative deals which some vendors used to make money. The selection available at these markets was very up-to-date and reflected new music mainly from the Anglo-American music world with minimal delay, and a number of foreign stars had groups of devoted followers in Czechoslovakia. A no less important issue as regards the music markets’ existence is to what extent they worked or didn’t work and on what principles the power mechanisms which helped create their form were based on. There were occasional acts of repression on the music markets of various intensity. The two extreme positions taken by state bodies were the markets’ dispersal using coercive means on the one hand, and their quiet tolerance, and legalisation at the end of the 1980s, on the other hand. A closer observation of this particular environment, however, means that important features of Czechoslovak society during the 1970s and 1980s rise to the surface.
