Simon Géza Gábor: „Csillogó fekete lemezeken…” 100 éves a magyar hanglemezgyártás és -forgalmazás (Budapest, 2008)

Lindström - sparkling relationship up to 1950 After the First World War the Hungarian Lindström Company representative initially only imported German recordings. He later started inviting Hungarian vocal soloists, primarily from the most popular hits of the day, to Berlin for them make recordings with German bands. These first appeared on the Parlophon label, and later on Odeon and Glória. By the 1930s a truly wide national repertoire had developed from the start of Hungarian sound recordings. The Budapest pressing factory significantly increased the pace of distribution, bringing a drop in price. Odeon records were extremely successful in their day, primarily with the then hits and with performances by gypsy performers. Today however it is their jazz recordings that are of more interest. Rózsavölgyi és Társa: sheet music and record publication and distribution on a large scale Founded in 1851, Rózsavölgyi és Társa Company played the leading role in publishing scores of all styles. At the time of the emergence of the gramophone record market they put a great deal of effort into ensuring their Budapest store ranked among the best stocked in the capital. The Rózsavölgyi Company distributed Polydor records in Hungary. The Mocsányi és Társa Company manufactured the Pallas, Radius and Weekend label records for Rózsavölgyi.
