Remington

Remington Records was founded in 1948 by the American entrepreneur and music producer, John D. Williams. Initially established as a budget label, it aimed to provide affordable recordings across various genres, including classical, pop, and country music. The label gained prominence in the 1950s and 1960s, particularly for its classical recordings featuring orchestras and soloists. Notable artists associated with Remington include the renowned conductor and pianist, Eugene Ormandy, and the violinist, Isaac Stern. In the late 1960s, Remington expanded its catalog to include more contemporary genres, though it struggled to compete with larger labels. The label's commitment to high-quality recordings earned it a reputation among audiophiles. Despite its decline in the 1970s, Remington's legacy persists, particularly in the realm of classical music, where its recordings are still appreciated for their craftsmanship and sound quality.
