Profile

Yugoslav label PGP RTS ([b]P[/b]rodukcija [b]g[/b]ramofonskih [b]p[/b]loča [b]R[/b]adio-[b]t[/b]elevizije [b]S[/b]rbije, official English name: [l=RTS Records (3)]) was founded under the name [l=PGP RTB] in 1959, as the record production arm of the Radio-television of Belgrade ([l=RTB]). As the Radio-television of Belgrade became the Radio-television of Serbia ([l=RTS]) in 1992, the label changed its name as well. The catalog numbering system used by PGP RTS, from its founding in 1993 up to the present day, is the six-digit system introduced by PGP RTB in 1988: xY###z where: "x" denotes the format of the release, "Y" denotes the kind of content, ### is a sequential number, "z" is a check digit. Formats (x): 1Y – unused by PGP RTS, used by PGP RTB for 7” records 2Y – one LP 3Y – multiple LPs 4Y – digital disc (often prefaced with "CD" or “DVD”) 5Y – cassette (rarely prefaced with "AK" or “KS”) 6Y – cassette (post-2000, see below) 7Y – *unused* 8Y – VHS Content (Y): x0 – folk x1 – pop/rock/jazz x2 – licensed foreign recording of any genre (excluding classical) x3 – classical (Yugoslav performers) x4 – classical (foreign performers) x5 – children's x6 – spoken word/theatre x7 – *unused* x8 – *unused* x9 – non-music video content (on VHS releases, excluding content relating to theatre or classical music, which was released under 6), video content in general (DVD releases, see below) Notes: - in 2000, the 50###z range (cassette, folk) had been exhausted and PGP RTS began using the 60###z range instead. - in 2003, PGP RTS began releasing DVDs with the content ("Y") number 9 exclusively, regardless of the actual content.
