History
change
Communist Romania
changeElectrecord was often told to make some recordings in Romania instead of importing them from Western Europe and the United States, which recording companies in the Soviet Union were doing. Many stories today say recordings made in Romania are worse due to their lower quality.[source?]
Electrecord had to make the government, listeners and musicians happy. Electrecord released some collection discs. The most successful ones were the Formaţii de muzică pop (pop music bands) series, named Formaţii rock (rock bands) starting with the fourth one. The government did not like the word "rock" for a kind of music.
After
changeElectrecord became less popular from 1990 because there were other record companies in Romania. Some artists stayed. Most discs released by Electrecord since 1990 have been greatest hits albums or remastered versions of LPs.
Electrecord released the album Songbird by pop singer-songwriter NAVI in June 2017.[1]
