The consistent quality of pressings and superb choice of repertoire coming out of Speakers Corner has made the German company the most interesting and important re-issue label in the world.
They really hit the the big time with their Ella Fitzgerald Songbook series, but their latest major project promises even greater rewards.
They've started work on the legendary Mercury back catalogue, and the first results, three 20th Century works, have elevated their art to even higher levels of performance. From the beautifully reproduced sleeves to the flat, silent and superb sounding pressings, these records define what a re-issue should be.
