CBS/Sony Records Inc.

Japanese record and manufacturing company established in March 1968. It was a 50/50 joint-venture between Sony and CBS Inc. and operated the CBS/Sony label in Japan. It did so until August 1973, when the company was renamed to CBS/Sony Inc. The manufacturing department was subsequently split off from the new company and continued under the CBS/Sony Records, Inc. name. The name disappeared from records however. Many releases that were manufactured by CBS/Sony Records, Inc. have "MANUFACTURED BY CBS/SONY RECORDS INC" around the center hole. When this appears, enter a "Manufactured By" credit for CBS/Sony Records, Inc. When "CSR" appears, enter "Pressed By" credit for CSR (2). For "CSR Compact Disc" use CSR Compact Disc
