Extraphone

Extraphone is a Russian entertainment and music-industry trademark associated with the Closed Joint Stock Corporation Rays Lis'. The brand operates in show business rather than functioning solely as a conventional record label. Its documented activities include the publication and distribution of musical products, the organization of concert performances, the production of presentations, the coordination of concert tours, and the presentation or sale of advertising space. The available reference material does not establish a founding year, a named founder, a standalone corporate structure, a current headquarters city, or a current operating status. Extraphone is described as a trademark of Rays Lis', which means that its legal and commercial identity should be distinguished from that of the corporation behind it. No reliable information in the supplied material identifies a parent group, public listing, stock ticker, or current executive team. Extraphone's documented scope places it at the intersection of recorded-music publishing and live entertainment. Its music-related work suggests involvement in bringing musical releases to market, while its concert and touring activities indicate a broader role in event organization and artist presentation. The brand also offered advertising-space presentation, linking its entertainment services with promotional and commercial-event activity. A notable historical association is the company's role in organizing the 1996 Russian presidential election campaign known as "Vote or You Will Lose." For that work, Extraphone received a personal letter of thanks from President Boris Yeltsin. The recognition indicates that the organization had substantial event-production and campaign-communications capabilities during the mid-1990s, although the available source does not specify the full scope of its contractual role, staff, or creative contribution. Extraphone is also identified as a member of the Russian Phonographic Association, reflecting a connection with Russia's recorded-music industry. The available material does not provide a sufficiently detailed account of its catalog, artists, releases, later corporate changes, or present-day activities. Accordingly, the brand's current status and the extent to which it remains commercially active require verification.

Extraphone is documented as a trademark of the Russian Closed Joint Stock Corporation Rays Lis'. The supplied reference does not provide a founding date or a detailed chronology of the corporation's establishment, ownership changes, management, or commercial expansion. As a result, the brand's early formation cannot be dated reliably. The available description places Extraphone within the Russian show-business sector. Its activities extended beyond the publication of musical products: the brand was also involved in organizing concert performances, preparing presentations, arranging concert tours, and presenting advertising space. This combination indicates a business model built around both music-related content and the production and promotion of live or public-facing events. The source does not identify particular artists, albums, venues, or tour names, so no specific catalog or release history can be attributed without additional evidence. One of the clearest documented episodes in Extraphone's history occurred in 1996, when it organized the Russian presidential election campaign titled "Vote or You Will Lose." The campaign is associated with Boris Yeltsin's re-election effort. Following its work on the campaign, Extraphone received a personal thank-you letter from President Yeltsin. The recognition is evidence of the organization's participation in a nationally prominent communications and event initiative, but the available material does not explain whether Extraphone acted as a creative agency, event organizer, production contractor, media supplier, or in another capacity. The brand is also recorded as a member of the Russian Phonographic Association, connecting it with the institutional framework of Russia's recorded-music business. That membership supports the characterization of Extraphone as a participant in the music and phonographic sector, although the source does not specify the date of admission or the rights and responsibilities associated with membership. The reference material mentions an official site and contact information, but it does not supply usable URLs for those resources. It also does not establish whether the trademark continues to operate, whether it has been transferred, or whether its activities were absorbed into another organization. The historical record therefore supports a profile of Extraphone as a Russian music and entertainment trademark active in concert, publishing, presentation, and promotional work, with a notable 1996 political-campaign engagement, while leaving its later development and present status unresolved.
