Dokumentasi: Katalog Sampul Kaset Bali Record

Insitu Recordings

Anyone who has visited the back room at Bali Record will have noticed the 14 thick bounded catalogs showcasing their cassette releases. Each of the unique cassette covers was drawn on paper and then sent to Surabaya for further processing and printing. Over the years several artists contributed their distinct graphic designs to the Bali Record cassette aesthetic. Artists included Pak Gun-Gun (who studied in Japan), Pak Nasta, and Pak Fredi Jana. These catalogs are a testament to the scale and scope of Bali Record’s contribution to the recording and documenting of Balinese music. The size of the collection and wide array of titles and musics represented within is impressive, far exceeding what any other record label dedicated to Balinese music will likely ever achieve.

Bali Record was gracious enough to let us photograph their contents so that they could be made available online. These were photographed on September 3rd 2018. In order to shorten load times the 14 scroll-able catalogs below display reduced-size PDF.
