LSR Records, Inc.

LSR (short for Lord Sitar Records) started in the mid 60s as a music mail-order business by 14 year young Beatles-fan Barry Tenenbaum. Expanding distribution resulted in Dutch East India Trading which soon after also began releasing vinyl records. By 1983 Tenenbaum founded Homestead Records and around 1988 Rockville.
