[A bug in the early iterations of the database prevented entering the label name as R&S Records. Although the bug has since been fixed, and although the name without spaces around the ampersand has always been preferred, it is currently not possible to rename a label once created. Therefore for the time being the spaces around the ampersand must remain.

    The lack of represses is a snapshot to the bigger picture of how R&S past artists and their music has been treated. The truth eventually will come out on the treatment of their artists...

        You don't hear much from Sabine Maes these daze? Public Relation Eighty-Eight . I can see this court case, either way, will be a minefield of 'sound on sound' . . . Which way I am not sure ;) Subjectivity?

            I wholeheartedly agree with the comments below. R&S after WARP are the premier house of techno ambient.

              One of the greatest if not "the" only belgian labels that has ever existed along with Music Man Records .

              R & S is pure joy for the ears have great memorable tunes that everyone should recognize . I agree 1989-1995 were the golden years of this label but yeah thats maybe because i'm nostalgic ....like who isn't lol

              Anyway R & S surpas easily the garbage label Bonzaï that is overrated .

                Classic Record Label,Always has been, always will be. Everyone of us will have at least a few R&S tracks in their collection, id put money on it. Other than that id agree with everything spl3nd1d said. 1988-1991 sublime times for this vintage label. The rest as they say is HISTORY.

                    R&S Records was (and to be honest still is) one of THOSE labels.

                    If you are are an oldskool fan or a true lover of electronic music, then I think I can't tell you anything new here.

                    BUT, If you accidentally got here, because of, say, you've just discovered Vamp / DJ Hell / 4th Sign / Plastic Dreams / Aphex Twin / Ken Ishii etc. (this list would go on pretty much forever), and google came up with discogs, then DO NOT LEAVE THIS PAGE. Take a break, relax, and start exploring the history book of electronic music - aka R&S Records. You won't regret it.

                    This "demigod" label had outstanding output in the '90s - those who deny / cannot acknowledge this can not be taken seriously in of electronic music (though I've never seen anyone hating this label - for a reason I guess).

                    Assuming you don't have time for stuff like this, I suggest buying at least "In Order To Dance". It's not even music, it's a higher level - no BS here, most of today's music feel #@!$&#> redundant compared to this. On the other hand, R&S these days is not what it was back then, but don't let this disappoint you, even this "average R&S" is incredible sometimes.

                      R&S was one of the most influential labels of the nineties for high class electronic dance and listening music.
