Canadian label under Parry Music Ltd., founded by John H. Parry. For later release on CD/digital.
Having finally taken a closer look at this catalogue, the list of composers here is fascinatingly diverse; in addition to the Canadian composers, you'll find a lot of 'key' British names in the list, including a lot of material by John Hyde, Johnny Hawksworth, Brian Dee, Roger Webb, David Snell, Vic Flick and David Reilly, as well as compositions by Nick Ingman, James Clarke and Les Hurdle, the latter of which I think had moved to the US at this point. A lot of US composers are also featured, including John Cacavas (and family), Larry Owens, Barry Schleifer, Geoff Levin and a considerable chunk of the remaining cast from Emil Ascher Inc. Records (https://librarymusicthemes.com/index.php?topic=280.0). Austrians Hermann Langschwert and Wolfgang Killian also appear many times, as do Germans Roman Raithel, Gerhard Bickl and Jürgen Koppers. Perhaps more oddly, there are also a handful of Icelandic(!), Norwegian and Latvian composers featured here.
This is my collection. I have collected these albums over a period of about 8 years, some from BMG Production Music's old website, some from the fine rippers here on LMT, and a lot from Soulseek. There are a few doubles, in which case usually it's a different/better rip or a 24bit rip or something like that. I haven't gone through and retagged many of them, I'm sharing these as-is, because the older I get the less I care to do such tedious things :D. I think most are there, there are a few titles missing here and there. There are 171 PML albums (plus some doubles) and 224 PML CD albums for a total of 399 uploads.
If you ripped one of these records for the community, I want to say up front Thank You!! I really do appreciate all the hard work that goes into this community.

As an added bonus, here are 32 Parry re-releases from various WEB sources. Some of these are truncated, some heavily so. I didn't keep the ones that got silly with omissions. As above these come as-is, I haven't cleaned up the files or anything.

That's some collection. Thank you very much for kindly sharing the Parry Collection. I had a number of gaps in my collection and the music is generally of a very good quality composed by reliable industry names.

This might be an oversight on my part; however Discogs has PML 098 - Bandstand 1. I looked through the posting and I see its labeled something different. Just wanted to clarify, since these are large downloads if anyone did indeed know

PML CD 1098 is Bandstand 1. PML 98 is Classical Mosaic.

This is amazing BWP! Thank you very much! My Parry collection only consisted of a few albums that were originally posted here & there, though this has pretty much completed that collection so thank you again!
