That must be some kind of joke on their side because e. g. Michael Jackon’s Thriller was released in CS in 1984 by Supraphon (LP monopoly at the time).
Access to the west music was certainly limited but not impossible, due to proximity to Austria and Germany it was very easy to watch and listen to their stations and as described above, some LPs were even released in CS. I remember drooling over Depeche Mode’s Music For The Masses back in cca 1988 but it was above may pocket money-grade.
But I’m talking about the eighties when the gerontocracy was unable to deal with people’s desires, the regime was certainly much tougher in 70’s.
