Lyrita Catalog


Years ago when I had a very large vinyl collection, I had a lot of recordings by the British label Lyrita, the catalog of which if I recall properly was composed entirely of British artists. There had IMO the most consistently excellent recording quality of anything I have heard to date. Sound staging to die for, sweet extended highs, gobs of detail etc. It was rumored that the owner of the label was a bit of an eccentric and hated the then emerging digital CD with a passion, to the point where he stated that his label would never turn out a CD. I am curious if anyone knows if any of his catalog ever made it on to CD?

Like the other two contributors above, I own the Malcolm Arnold CD (courtesy of Allegro Imports) as well as a fair number of other Lyritas. I do not know whether any of them are still in print, but they occasionally appear on eBay; and it is possible that some of the UK retailers who offer export service may have Lytita CDs on hand.
