RCA Recording (formerly trademarked legally as RCA Records Label ) is an American record label owned by Sony Music, a subsidiary of Sony Corporation of America. This is one of Sony Music's three major labels with Columbia and Epic Records. Label has released several genres of music, including pop, rock, hip hop, electronics, R & B, blues, jazz, and country. Its name comes from the initials of its non-functioning parent company, Radio Corporation of America (RCA). It was fully acquired by Bertelsmann in 1986, making it part of Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG); However, RCA Records became part of Sony BMG Music Entertainment, a merger between BMG and Sony Music, in 2004, and was acquired by the latter in 2008, following the dissolution of Sony BMG and Sony Music restructuring. This is the second oldest record label in American history, after Columbia Records.

Histori
In 1929, Radio Corporation of America (RCA) purchased the Victor Talking Machine Company, which is the world's largest record maker (including the famous "Victrola") and phonograph record (in English English, "LPs"). The company then became RCA Victor . In absorbing Victor, RCA acquired the New World right for the famous Nipper/"Master Voice" trademark. In 1931, RCA affiliate Victor in England, the Gramophone Company joined the Columbia Graphophone Company to form EMI. This gave RCA chairman David Sarnoff a seat on the EMI board.
In September 1931, RCA Victor introduced the first 33 1/3 rpm records sold to the public, calling them the "Transcription Program". This used a more shallow implementation and closer spacing of the large "standard groove" found on contemporary 78 rpm records, rather than "microgroove" used for post-World War II records 33 1/3 rpm "LP" (long play). In the depths of the Great Depression, the format is a commercial failure, in part because the new playback equipment required this record is quite expensive. This format was abandoned by 1933 and the two-speed turntable was no longer offered in RCA consumer products, but some Transcription Programs remained in the record catalog until the late 1930s.
During the early part of the depression, RCA Victor made a number of attempts to create successful cheap labels to compete with "dime store labels" (Perfect, Oriole, Banner, Melotone, etc.). The first was the short-lived "Timely Tunes" label in 1931 which was sold at Montgomery Ward. In 1932, Bluebird Records was created as a sub-label of RCA Victor. It was originally an 8-inch tape with a dark blue label, in addition to the 8-inch Electradisk label (sold at Woolworth's). It did not work either. In 1933, RCA Victor reintroduced Bluebird and Electradisk as a standard 10-inch label (redesigned Bluebird label for being known as a 'fan' label). Another cheap label, Sunrise, is manufactured (though no one knows for whom it is produced, as Sunrise notes very rarely these days). The same musical clutch was issued on all three labels and Bluebird Records still survived eight decades after Electradisk and Sunrise were stopped. RCA Victor also produced records for the Montgomery Ward label during the 1930s.
In addition to producing recordings for themselves, RCA Victor operates RCA Custom which is a leading recording manufacturer for independent record labels. RCA Custom also suppresses record compilations for The Reader's Digest Association.
RCA sold its ownership to EMI in 1935, but EMI continued to distribute RCA Victor footage in the UK and its territory on the HMV label until the late 1950s. RCA also manufactures and distributes HMV footage on RCA Victor and HMV special labels in North America.
World War II era
During World War II, the relationship between RCA Victor and its JVC Japanese affiliates was interrupted. The current JVC recording company is called Victor Entertainment and still retains its Nipper/Master trademark for use in Japan.
From 1942 to 1944, RCA Victor was seriously affected by the prohibition of footage of the American Federation of Musicians. Almost all union musicians in the US and Canada are prohibited from making recordings during that period. One of the few exceptions is the eventual broadcast of a radio broadcast by the NBC Symphony Orchestra organized by Arturo Toscanini. However, RCA Victor lost the Philadelphia Orchestra during this period; the orchestra contract with RCA Victor ended at a strike and when Columbia Records settled with unions before RCA, Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphians signed a new contract with Columbia and began recording in 1944. Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra would not return to the RCA until 1968.
1940 post-war
In 1949, RCA Victor introduced a 45-inch 7-inch micron grooved vinyl record, marketed as "45" only. The new format, which has been developed over the years, is the late RCA Victor launching an alternative to 12 "and 10 inch 33 * 3 rpm microgroove vinyl" LP "(Long Play) discs introduced by arch-enemy Columbia. Recording in the early summer of 1948. In heavy promotions, RCA sold a compact and inexpensive, stand-alone supplement unit that played the exclusive 45 rpm format. Initially, 45s RCA Victor was published on colored vinyl according to the musical genre: contemporary pop music on black vinyl (47-XXXX series), prestigious Broadway musicals and operams on "vinyl midnight blue" (52-xxxx series), classical music on vinyl red (49-xxxx series), green country and polka (48-xxxx series), yellow children's tickets (also in the 47-xxxx series), orange or cerise rhythms and blues (50-xxxx series), and international in light blue (51-xxxx series). This series of colors complicates the production process and the practice is immediately stopped, all recordings become black. Yellow and red lasted until about 1952. The first 45 rpm record produced was "PeeWee the Piccolo" RCA Victor 47-0147 pressed on 7 December 1948 at the Sherman Avenue plant in Indianapolis, R.O. Price, factory manager. The use of vinyl, which is much more expensive than the normally used compound for the 78s, is actually cheaper because of its smaller diameter and greatly reduces most of the new records, which require very little raw material. Smaller and lighter disks are also more economical to store and send.
RCA Victor markets 45 as a direct replacement for the 10-inch and 12-inch 78 rpm records, which are usually played for about three and four minutes per side respectively. The company also released some 45s "extended play" (EP) with playing time of up to 7 minutes per side, especially for some vocal collections and lightweight class selections, as typed by Arthur Fiedler and Boston Pops Orchestra disc featuring Tchaikovsky Marche Slave and KetÃÆ'¨lbey's In the Persian Market . Set boxes of four to six 45 are issued, each set provides around the same amount of music as one LP. (An extreme case of this box set is the complete recording of Carmen's opera, performed by Fritz Reiner, consisting of sixteen 45 rpm discs.) In the case of opera, symphony and other complete recording of classical music, there is interruption every four minutes when one side of the tape ends and the other begins. This annoying "interrupting side", a disturbance that has long been recognized by listeners of the classic and operational recording albums, is minimized by the rapidly changing automated note-changing mechanism that is the core feature of 45 RCA Victor players. Many thanks to RCA Victor's big five-million-dollar advertising campaign, 45 being the preferred pace for pop music singles, surpassing US sales of the same material in the 78s in 1954, but LP Columbia won as a format for classical and comfortable music -disc "album" collection of eight or more pop songs. RCA Victor was finally subject to the inevitable and announced his intention to issue LP in January 1950.
1950s
Finally acknowledging the success of the Columbia LP format and fear of losing further market share, RCA Victor started issuing the record itself. Among the first RCA Victor LPs to be released in 1950 was the appearance of GaÃÆ'®tÃÆ' Â © Parisienne by Jacques Offenbach, played by Arthur Fiedler and Boston Pops Orchestra, which had actually been recorded at Boston's Symphony Hall on June 20 , 1947; labeled LM-1001. Non-classic albums are published with the prefix "LPM". When RCA Victor later released the classic stereo album (in 1958), they used the "LSC" prefix. Non-classic stereo albums are published with the prefix "LSP". RCA used this catalog prefix until 1973.
In the 1950s, RCA Victor had three subsidiaries or special labels: Groove, Vik and "X".
The April 11, 1953 Billboard magazine said that the new RCA Victor subsidiary label, the first to use an independent and unnamed distribution when it first came to light. Since there is no better designation, Billboard chooses to refer to an unnamed new label in the story as an "X" Label; the new label began to hire staff and decided directions, the name stuck until 1955. RCA Victor Records formally announced the formation of the label "X" on April 20, 1953. Groove is a special label R & B which was founded in 1954 and folded into Vik in 1957. Vik itself closed the following year.
Through the 1940s and 1950s, RCA Victor competed with Columbia Records. Numerous recordings were made with the NBC Symphony Orchestra, hosted by Arturo Toscanini; sometimes RCA Victor uses concert broadcast recordings (Toscanini has been recording for labels since the days of acoustic recording, and RCA Victor has been recording NBC Symphony since its creation in 1937). When NBC Symphony was reorganized in the fall of 1954 as Symphony of the Air, he continued to record for RCA Victor, as well as other labels, usually performed by Leopold Stokowski. RCA Victor has also released a number of recordings with the RCA Victor Symphony Orchestra, usually taken from the musicians of Philadelphia or New York, as well as members of the Symphony of the Air. In the late 1950s, RCA Victor had fewer high prestige orchestras under contract than Columbia: RCA recorded Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Boston Symphony Orchestra, and Boston Pops, while Columbia had the Cleveland Orchestra, the Philadelphia Orchestra, and the New York Philharmonic Orchestra below contract.
On October 6, 1953, RCA Victor held an experimental stereophonic session at Manhattan Center of New York City with Leopold Stokowski leading a group of New York City musicians in the George Enescu show Roumanian Rhapsody. 1 and waltz from Opera Tchaikovsky Eugene Onegin . There was an additional stereo test in December, again at the Manhattan Center, this time with Pierre Monteux leading Boston Symphony Orchestra members. In February 1954, RCA Victor made his first commercial stereophonic record, recording the Boston Symphony Orchestra, performed by Charles MÃÆ'¼nch, in The Damnation of Faust by Hector Berlioz. It began to practice simultaneous orchestral recording with stereophonic and mono equipment. Other early stereo recordings were made by Toscanini (never officially released) and Guido Cantelli, with the NBC Symphony Orchestra; Boston Pops Orchestra under Arthur Fiedler; and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under Fritz Reiner. Initially, RCA used a quarter-inch ribbon tape RT-21 (which ran at 30 inches per second), transferred to a mono mixer, with Neumann U-47 cardioid and M-49/50 omnidirectional microphone. Then they switch to the Ampex 300-3 engine one and a half inches, running at 15 inches per second (which then increases to 30 inches per second). This tape was originally issued in 1955 on special reel-to-reel tapes and then, beginning in 1958, on a record called "Living Stereo". RCA continues to publish many of these recordings on CDs. Another 1953 project for RCA was to transform the Webster Hall building which is acoustically superior to the East Coast main recording studio. RCA operated the studio premises from 1953 to 1968.
In September 1954, RCA Victor introduced "Gruve-Gard" where the center and edge of the note was thicker than the play area, reducing the abrasions during handling and when stacked on the turntable with an automatic record converter. Most competitors quickly adopt the label and the edges being lifted.
In 1955, RCA bought Elvis Presley's recording contract from Sun Records for an astronomical sum of $ 35,000. Presley will be RCA's biggest sales recording artist. His first gold record was "Heartbreak Hotel", which was recorded in January 1956.
In 1957, RCA Victor ended his 55-year association with EMI/HMV and signed a distribution deal with Decca Records, which resulted in the acquisition of EMI against Capitol Records. Capitol later became the main distributor for EMI recordings in North and South America, with RCA distributing the recording via Decca in the United Kingdom on the RCA label, using the RCA lightning bolt logo instead of its Nipper/Voice (now owned by RCA HMV in the UK as EMI transferred ownership of the trademark in 2003) in the UK. RCA set up its own UK distribution in 1969.
RCA Victor released several word albums pronounced in the 1950s and 60s, especially the soundtrack from the movie Richard III , A Man for All Seasons and The Taming of the Shrew, as well as the full version of the production of the National Theater of Great Britain from Othello (starring Laurence Olivier) and Much Ado About Nothing (starring Maggie Smith , which also played Desdemona at Olivier Othello ). None of these albums have appeared on the compact disc, but the movies Richard III , A Man For All Seasons , The Taming of the Shrew > and the movie version of Olivier Othello has all been published in DVD. 1960s
In 1960, RCA Victor announced the Compact 33 double and single. In January 1961, these discs hit the market. Disk Compact 33 was released simultaneously with 45 rpm counterparts. The long-term goal was to reduce 45 rpm, but in early 1962 the campaign failed.
In 1963, RCA Victor introduced Dynagroove which added computer technology to the disk-cutting process, as if to improve sound reproduction. Whether that is really an improvement or not is still debated among audiophiles. RCA quietly stopped Dynagroove around 1970.
In September 1965, RCA and Lear Jet Corp worked together to release the first 8-track stereo band cassette (Stereo 8) which was first used on Ford's 1966 line and popular throughout the late 1960s and 1970s. (The initial release comprises 175 titles from RCA Victor and the Camden RCA artist catalog.)
In 1968, RCA Corporation modernized its image with what was then a futuristic-looking logo (RCA letters in the form of modern blocks), replacing the old lightning bolt logo, and virtual retirement from its Victor and Nipper/Master Voice trademarks. The Victor RCA division now known as RCA Records, "Victor" is now limited to the popular album covers and RCA labels on a regular basis, while the Nipper trademark is only visible on the cover of the Red Seal record album. The color of the label, which is always black for the popular series (as opposed to the Red Seal line), is converted to bright orange or yellow (brown shortly later in 1975-1976).
In late 1969, RCA Records introduced a very thin and light vinyl LP known as Dynaflex. This type of press is claimed to overcome the problem of warping and other problems in a thicker pressure, but has a controversial reputation in the industry and abandoned in the late 1970s.
The 1970s
In April 1970, RCA announced the first 4-line 4-line ribbon cartridge ("Quad-8", which came to be called just Q8). RCA Records began releasing quadraphonic vinyl recordings in the United States in February 1973, in a CD-4 format developed by Japan Victor Corporation (JVC), and commercially manufactured by Quadracast Systems Inc. (QSI). The RCA trade name becomes "Quadradisc". The CD-4 format requires a special cartridge that has a frequency response of  ± 1 db to 50 kHz, a CD-4 demodulator that solves the difference between the front and rear channels of the 30 kHz subcarrier, four separate reinforcing channels, and four separate speakers for the left and right front and left and right rear. Both the Quadradisc CD-4 system and the Quad-8 tape cartridge are completely separate separation 4-4-4 systems. Columbia introduced a quadraphonic matrix system, SQ, which requires a decoder, 4-channel amplifier and four speakers. The SQ system is called the 4-2-4 matrix system. The Warner Music Group label also adopts the Quadradisc format, but RCA and Columbia ignore the quadraphonic recording in years; some RCA sessions were then remastered for Dolby encoding (same as Peter Scheiber's original matrix system) and released on CD. This includes a series of Charles Gerhardt series devoted to classic films by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Alfred Newman, Dimitri Tiomkin, Max Steiner, Franz Waxman, and others, featured by the National Philharmonic Orchestra at Kingsway Hall in London.
Beginning in late 1976, RCA Corporation revived its Nipper/Master trademark. RCA Records returns Nipper to most (Victor, Victrola, Red Seal and Special Products) record labels (in addition to returning to traditional black label colors for popular releases) in countries where RCA holds the rights to its Nipper/Master trademark. Nipper is once again used in newspaper and magazine ads as well as store displays and promotional items such as T-shirts, watches, coffee mugs and doll toys. The trademark is also painted on RCA delivery trucks and services.
The 1980s
In 1983, owner of Arista Records Bertelsmann sold 50% Arista to RCA. In 1985, Bertelsmann and RCA Records formed a joint venture called RCA/Ariola International. The following year, RCA Corporation was acquired by General Electric and sold 50% of its stake in RCA Records to its partner Bertelsmann. The company changed its name to BMG Music for Bertelsmann Music Group. BMG revived the old RCA "lightning bolt" logo retired in 1968 to explain that RCA Records is no longer owned with other RCA entities that GE is liquidated or closed. BMG also revived the label "RCA Victor" for music genres outside country, pop, and rock music. In 1986, Bob Buziak, a former artist manager, was appointed president of the label.
During the mid-1980s, RCA Records operated on deficits, in part because of "expensive deals" with pop stars including Kenny Rogers (worldwide) and Diana Ross (domestically). In 1986, they bought back $ 25 million in unsold albums and lost $ 35 million during fiscal year 1987. As a partial correction, a decentralized management style that enabled RCA Records to function as a freestanding entrepreneurial business was carried out in 1988. Buziak piece list of RCAs from about 40 actions to 11, and start rebuilding them with a focus on artist development, including artists acquired through marketing and distribution agreements with Beggars Banquet and Jive Records, whose list includes Schooly D, Kool Moe Dee, and DJ Jazzy Jeff & amp; Pangeran Segar.
By the end of fiscal year 1988, RCA Records had gross revenues of $ 236 million in the United States, their most profitable year to date. Bruce Hornsby's The Way It Is sold over 3 million albums, and the soundtrack for the Dirty Dancing film, which cost RCA $ 200,000, sold 15.6 million copies in less than two years. The follow-up, More Dirty Dancing, consisting of songs left behind from the first album, was produced for $ 80,000 and sold over 5.6 million. RCA's successful actions during the 1980s included Eurythmics, Love and Rockets, Rick Astley and Bucks Fizz.
The 1990s
In August 1990 Buziak was replaced by Joe Galante, who was president of RCA Records Nashville. The list is cut once again and the A & amp; R restructured. Along with the launch of BNA Records and the expansion of the urban music division, this initiative proved positive, but the RCA was unsuccessful under Galante, ranked 10th in market share in 1995. Galante returned to RCA Nashville's head and was replaced in March 1995 by president of RCA Records Canada, Bob Jamieson. Jamieson overhauled RCA, removing the middle management layer and retooling the label marketing department. Department of A & amp; R is restructured again and the artist list is cut.
By the end of the decade, RCA Records has experienced what Billboard has described as "a remarkable turnaround" with the success of artists including Britney Spears, Band Dave Matthews, Natalie Imbruglia, The Verve Pipe, Robyn, SWV, Christina Aguilera, NSYNC, and Foo Fighters. The distribution deal with Loud Records resulted in hit recordings from urban artists including Big Punisher, Wu-Tang Clan, and Mobb Deep.
2000s
In 2002, BMG acquired J Records, founded in 2000 as a joint venture with Clive Davis. Davis was later appointed chairman of RCA Records and J Records under the auspices of a new entity, RCA Music Group, which included RCA Records, J, and Arista Records. In 2004, Sony and BMG merged their music divisions to create Sony BMG, and in 2007, the RCA Music Group was renamed to BMG Label Group. In 2006, Sony BMG incorporated Broadway music and its classic labels, including Red Seal and Gold Seal, to Sony Masterworks. Legacy Recordings, Sony Music Entertainment's catalog division, reissued the classic album for RCA.
In April 2008, former president and CEO of the Zomba Label Group, Barry Weiss was appointed chairman of the BMG Label Group, and Davis was appointed head of Sony BMG creative officers around the world. In October, Sony acquired 50% ownership of BMG and BMG Label Group merged with Jive Label Group to form RCA/Jive Label Group. These include RCA, Jive, J, Arista, Polo Grounds, LaFace Records, Volcano Entertainment, Hitz Committee, Battery Records, and Verity Gospel Music Group.
The decade marks the period in which RCA Records has been successful in the pop genre, with Christina Aguilera, NSYNC, Kesha, Pink, Kelly Clarkson and Pitbull scoring some # 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. NSYNC's No Strings Attached broke sales records, selling over one million singles in a single day and 2.3 million albums in a single week. It was the best-selling album of the decade.
Year 2010
In May 2011, Doug Morris was appointed chairman of Sony Music Entertainment. Focusing on A & amp; R, Morris named J/RCA A & amp; President R Peter Ujung chairman and CEO of RCA Music Group. Tom Corson was appointed president and COO. In October of that year, Jive, Arista, and J traces folded into RCA, and RCA Music Group was renamed RCA Records, making it a stand-alone label under Sony Music umbrella. Some artists from Jive, Arista and J traces are shifted to RCA.
Between 2010 and 2018, RCA released millions and sold millions of albums by artists including A $ AP Rocky, Cage the Elephant, Chris Brown, Kelly Clarkson, Miley Cyrus, D'Angelo, Dave Matthews Band, Foo Fighters, G-Eazy, Jennifer Hudson , R. Kelly, Kesha, Khalid, Alicia Keys, Leon Kings, Miguel, Pentatonix, P! Nk, Pitbull, Shakira, Sia, Britney Spears, Bryson Tiller, Justin Timberlake, T-Pain, Tinashe, and Zayn.
In 2015 the RCA restored the 1968 RCA style logo which was given space after using the bolt logo for its second run from 1987. The bolt logo was still used by its Nashville division.
John Fleckenstein and Joe Riccitelli were appointed RCA vice presidents in January 2018, after Canton's departure. In May 2018, Keith Naftaly was appointed president of A & amp; R.

Broadway and Hollywood
RCA Victor has produced some of Broadway's famous cast albums, among them the original Broadway footage of Brigadoon Paint Your Wagon , Mary Martin Peter Pan , > Shit Yankee , Hello, Dolly! , Oliver! , and Fiddler on the Roof . RCA has also recorded and released recording musical awakening. These include music productions staged at the Lincoln Center, such as the 1966 revival Show Boat and Annie Get Your Gun, the 1987 awakening of Anything Goes and Broadway revivals of 1998 from Cabaret and The Sound of Music . Call Me Madam was recorded by RCA Victor with all the original players except for starring Ethel Merman, who, due to contractual obligations, can not be released from his American Decca Records contract. He was replaced by RCA Victor's album by Dinah Shore. RCA Victor is also responsible for the soundtrack album of the movie Damn Yankees , South Pacific , Bye Bye Birdie , Half of Sixpence i>, and The Sound of Music . The album created from 1965 hit Julie Andrews movie is (and) one of the best-selling soundtrack of all time. Soundtrack from Oliver! , made by Colgems Records, distributed by RCA, which has released the album cast Broadway. RCA Victor also released the original American album Hair .
Similarly, RCA Victor also made several studio albums, including Lerner and Loewe series with Jan Peerce, Jane Powell, and Robert Merrill, and 1963 album excerpts from George Gershwin Porgy and Bess , with the direction of the resurrection in 1952, Leontyne Price and William Warfield, but different supporting actors. They also released two versions of the Boot Show studio, one with Robert Merrill, Patrice Munsel, and Rise Stevens in 1956, and the other with Howard Keel, Anne Jeffreys, and Gogi Grant in 1958. Unfortunately , Contrary to the way this event was written, both albums Show Boat show all the white cast, reflecting the era of racial segregation.
In 2006, Sony BMG merged its Broadway music label, including RCA Victor, onto the new Masterworks Broadway Records. All these recordings are now on Masterworks Broadway Records, which has rejuvenated and republished many of these albums.
Criticism and controversy
Kelly Clarkson
In the summer of 2007, Kelly Clarkson and Clive Davis, then head of Sony BMG, argued publicly about the direction of his album My December, a follow-up to Clarkson's multi-platinum album Breakaway . Clarkson wrote songs on My December, featuring his own songwriting at a darker, more rock-oriented price, and Davis insisted that Clarkson work with hired assassins, as before, on "polish radio "friendly song." Clarkson refused to change the album, and it was released in June 2007. Since then it has been certified platinum.
Avril Lavigne
In November 2010, singer Avril Lavigne stated that the long delay of her fourth album, Goodbye Lullaby , was due to a "bunch of BS bureaucracies" associated with RCA. The album was finally released in March 2011. In October 2011, Lavigne confirmed that she had left RCA and signed a contract with the sister label Epic Records.
Kenny Rogers
After singer Kenny Rogers left the label, he accused RCA of trying to destroy his career. Rogers signed a contract with RCA in 1982 with a down payment of $ 20 million (the biggest deal ever in country music at the time) when Bob Summer became head of the label.
Other important events
In the early 1920s, Victor was slow in deep engagement in recording and marketing black jazz and vocal blues. In the mid to late 1920s, Victor had signed Jelly Roll Morton, Bennie Moten, Duke Ellington and other black bands and became very competitive with Columbia and Brunswick, even starting their own "Hot Dance" V-38000 series that was marketed to all Dealers Victor. They also have a "race" V-38500 series (race record), a 23,000 'hot dance' series from the V-38000 series, as well as the 23200 'Race' series with blues, gospel and some loud jazz. However, throughout the 1930s, Victor's involvement in jazz and blues slowed and at the time of the musician's strike and the end of the war, Victor ignored the R & amp; B (race), which is one of the reasons so many independent companies have sprung up successfully.
In the early 1960s, Victor decided to destroy their Camden repository. The warehouse has four catalog floors and safes (most of them pre-taped candles and metal discs), test testing, varnish platters, book led matrix, and rehearsal records. The company saved several masters (as Enrico Caruso), but most were lost. A few days before the demolition took place, several collectors from the US and Europe were allowed to go through the warehouse and save whatever they could bring with them for their private collection. Soon after, RCA Victor collectors and officials watched from a nearby bridge when the warehouse was dismantled, with many master studios still intact inside the building. The remains were bulldozed into the Delaware River and a pier was built over them. In 1973, when the company decided to release all Rachmaninoff recordings on a record (to celebrate the composer's birthday), RCA was forced to go to the record collector for the material, as documented by Time.
