CBS/Sony Records Inc.

Profile

Japanese: CBS・ソニーレコード株式会社 Japanese record and manufacturing company established in March 1968. It was a 50/50 joint-venture between Sony and [l=CBS Inc.] and operated the [l=CBS/Sony] label in Japan. It did so until August 1973, when the company was renamed to [l=CBS/Sony Inc.] The manufacturing department was subsequently split off from the new company and continued under the CBS/Sony Records, Inc. name. The name disappeared from records however. Many releases that were manufactured by CBS/Sony Records, Inc. have "MANUFACTURED BY CBS/SONY RECORDS INC" around the center hole. When this appears, enter a "Manufactured By" credit for CBS/Sony Records, Inc. When "CSR" appears, enter "Pressed By" credit for [l=CSR (2)]. For "CSR Compact Disc" use [l=CSR Compact Disc]
