I have a CD of the famous Arnold: English, Irish, Scottish, and Cornish dances, Lyrita SRCD-201. I also own a Lyrita sampler CD released by Quad of England that indicates that Lyrita catalog #'s 201-235 were available in CD format by 1993. The worldwide distributor was Conifer Records Limited and the U.S. importer was Allegro.
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?
