In 1988, after the end of the state monopoly on record release, the band signed a contract with the private record label Ring. Their first album to be released was a double album with the title Beatrice ’78 –’88 . The first part mostly consisted of the classic, old Ricse songs, while the second was made up of their newer compositions, like the instant hit Azok a boldog szép napok , or the more serious A kétezredik év felé . At the time of the album’s recording the band’s drummer was Bertalan Hirlemann.
