Try this.

set arec to {foo:1, bar:"a"}
set alist to {}
repeat 3 times
	copy arec to end of alist
end repeat
alist

When you concatenate it coerces what ever you are adding into either a  
string or a list.  Since records can be coerced into lists it makes it  
a list rather than a list containing a record.

If you want to use concatenation make it a list first.

set arec to {foo:1, bar:"a"}
set alist to {}
repeat 3 times
	set alist to alist & {arec}
end repeat
alist
