Casa de discuri Stîngă

Defunct romanian label owned by Paul Stîngă, active from early to mid '90s, focused on 'lăutărească' and early 'manele'. While the first LPs were pressed at Electrecord, around 1992 they acquired their own set, from Swiss company Turicaphon, along with a number of stampers for budget LPs (mostly from the Elite Special imprint). They released LPs with two types of catalog numbers: CDS for LPs produced by Paul Stîngă, and CDS-CS for LPs that were pressed for independent producers (CS comes from 'comanda speciala' = special order)
