History
The company was established in the then Socialist Republic of Croatia in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1972.[1]
Suzy released some of the important albums of the Croatian and Yugoslav rock artists such as Parni Valjak, BOA and Prljavo Kazalište. Like other former Yugoslav record labels, Suzy also released numerous foreign pop and rock stars; albums for the domestic market including: AC/DC, Adam and the Ants, The Clash, Leonard Cohen, Phil Collins, Alice Cooper, The Doors, Bob Dylan, Fleetwood Mac, Michael Jackson, Cyndi Lauper, Led Zeppelin, Sade, Santana, Paul Simon, Prince, and others. Suzy closely cooperated with many international major labels such as CBS Records for instance.[2]
After the abandonment of the socialist system and the subsequent breakup of Yugoslavia, during the 1990s the company transformed to SUZY d.o.o. (limited company).[3] However, unlike its bigger competitors Jugoton and PGP-RTB which changed their names to Croatia Records and PGP-RTS respectively, Suzy continued to work under the same name. Several of its older important domestic titles were re-released in cooperation with another Croatian record label Hit Records during the 2000s.[4]
Competition
Other major labels in the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia were: PGP-RTB and Jugodisk from Belgrade; Jugoton from Zagreb; Diskoton from Sarajevo; ZKP RTLJ from Ljubljana, and others.
