M.E.G.A. Records

Lithuanian music label in Kaunas, founded by Modestas Mastavičius, active from the early 90s until around 2011. The original parent company, Matista, engaged in music distribution, was switched in around 1998 to Megarsa, more focused on even organising, still operated by the same person.
Started out as a pirate label of foreign music, from 1993 started releasing Lithuanian music legally.
Notable for numerous cassettes released during the 90s featuring predominately younger pop artists. In total over 200 MCs and around 50 CDs were producing durings the label's tenure. It is also responsible for releasing all of Džordana's albums during its years of activity.

Where YYYY stands for the release year, first three numerals for the catalogue no. and M for the release month (double digits only where necessary).
A few releases from 1996 featuring dance music covers/mixes/compilations likely released without needed rights, and thus in order to distance them from the label (?), lack any cat. no. (replaced with an icon of a dancers) and copyright information inside. There are however numbered internally, leaving gaps: 129, 132, 135, 136, 139, 140.
