Astor Records

Astor Records

Astor Records was an Australian recording company that operated from the 1960s to the early 1980s. Astor was originally a trademark of the consumer electronics company The Radio Corporation of Australia Pty. Ltd., makers of Astor radios and radiograms. The company expanded into record production ca. 1960, and its inaugural release was the single "Speak Low" by Philippines-born vocalist Pilita Corrales. Astor operated its own vinyl record pressing plant in Melbourne.

The label enjoyed local success with releases by pop groups The Masters Apprentices and The Loved Ones (who recorded for Astor's subsidiary label In Records). Astor also held the Australian distribution rights a number of important overseas labels including Vanguard, Pye, MGM/Verve, Kama Sutra, Buddah, Mercury and MCA.
