Album Info and Production
Technically, the production for Lyudi Invalidy began in 2004. It was during 2004 when t.A.T.u.'s then-producer Ivan Shapovalov introduced the tracks "Люди инвалиды" ("Lyudi invalidy"), "Ты согласна" ("Ty soglasna"), "Ничья" ("Nich'ya") and "Что не хватает" ("Chto ne khvatayet") to the girls, and the songs were recorded. For instance, an early version of "Nich'ya" was played during the Show Me Love Tour. Demos from all four songs were also released to fans, and heard on Podnebesnaya. After leaving Shapovalov and then taking a hiatus, t.A.T.u. negotiated with Shapovalov and the songwriters and composers to rerecord the songs. The music was changed on all of the songs, and in some the lyrics were altered. When the album was released in 2005, it only credited Shapovalov for the song "Lyudi invalidy".
Demos of "Космос" ("Kosmos"), "Вся моя любовь" ("Vsya moya lyubov'"), and "Обезьянка ноль" ("Obez'yanka nol'"), as well as an a cappella version of the last, were released prior to the album's premiere; all were sung by Lena only and were recorded in both Moscow and Los Angeles with Sergio Galoyan from mid-2004 to early 2005.
Lyudi Invalidy features two songs from the English release; "Loves Me Not" and "All About Us." On this album, "Loves Me Not" has different music than the version on the English album counterpart Dangerous And Moving. It is important to note that the version of "Loves Me Not" featured on Lyudi Invalidy is not a remix. It is the same single featuring a Russian arrangement versus a pop one.
"Obez'yanka nol'", supposedly Yulia's favorite tune from the album, was also included on Dangerous and Moving. Two different versions of "Chto ne khvatayet" were also issued online on YouTube exclusively.
