Entr'acte Recording Society, the name of which is derived from the music term entr'acte — translated as 'between acts' in the French, is an independent record label founded in Chicago in 1974 by John Steven Lasher, who would produce many recordings for the label, which was later incorporated into Fifth Continent Music Corporation's roster of labels from 1979 onwards.
The label's first release, the original soundtrack recording from the Brian De Palma film Sisters with music by Bernard Herrmann, was initially available by mail-order, but later on independently distributed in North America and abroad. Other recordings of film music by Bernard Herrmann, including Battle of Neretva and The Kentuckian followed.
Entr'acte's releases also included a re-recordings of the 1933 original score from King Kong by Max Steiner, The Best Years of Our Lives by Hugo Friedhofer and Time After Time by Miklós Rózsa, among others. The label has also produced several recordings of chamber music, including works by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Miklós Rózsa and Halsey Stevens.
