Abstract
During the 1950s, Radio Belgrade commenced its own production of gramophone records, which is the topic of this paper. These 78rpm records were issued under the label Jugodisk, understood as forerunner of the later established PGP RTB/RTS. However, in the absence of catalogues, the information on those records is scarce. It seems that records were not issued regularly and that only some of them were intended for the market. The paper is aimed at gathering the presently known data, including new research results based on the archived documents, newspaper articles, and a comparison of several collections of Jugodisk records and data on available records. The body of music presented is then discussed in the context of the Yugoslav music and media culture of the time.
