rekordi

Rekordi refers to a brand of vinyl records produced by the Shchedrovitskaya Fabrika Gramplastinok (Щедровская фабрика грампластинок), a record pressing plant located in the Soviet Union. These records were a common form of music distribution for much of the 20th century. The factory produced a wide variety of musical genres, including classical music, folk music, popular songs, and spoken word recordings. Rekordi records typically featured a black vinyl disc with a label in the center indicating the artist, title, and catalog number. The sound quality and durability of Rekordi records varied, as was often the case with mass-produced vinyl from that era. Many collectors and enthusiasts of Soviet-era music continue to seek out and preserve Rekordi records as historical artifacts and for their musical content. The plant's output played a significant role in disseminating musical culture within the Soviet Union and its satellite states. Information on specific pressings, release dates, and the history of the Shchedrovitskaya Fabrika Gramplastinok can sometimes be found in specialized discographies and archival records.
