Parry Music Thread: PML 01-09 & PML 11-20 (MARCH 20)

[Retronic]

The Parry Music Library was founded in Toronto, Canada in 1974. Its two principal officers are John Parry, who for nine years previously had managed one of the major music libraries in England and Chris Stone, who was running his library music consultancy company in Toronto. John brought with him to Parry Music the talents  of many British composers with whom he had worked, such as George Fenton, Robert Farnon, Ron Grainer, Johnny Hawksworth, John Leach and Roger Webb, Frenchman Roger Roger and American John Cacavas. Once in Canada, many local composers joined the scene as well as numerous American writers.
A list of LP releases can be perused HERE!

Parry is often overlooked; coming in a little late to the party for some with the early releases coming around 1977 I believe- the records have no dates.   I'm not sure where the cues ended up other than a few popped up in 'Prisoner Cell Block H', spanning it's whole 8 year run.   

The best way to understand Parry is to hear Parry.
So ears at the ready...............
............. let's begin.

First off the rack, PML 01 - On the Bright Side:

As I ripped this and encountered the track 'Funky Ride' it reminded me I had used the track in an old compilation I made in 2011 (April 29th to be exact).  Back then it was compressed at 128kbps so I have remade it with the best quality I have; mostly lossless FLACS with a few at 320 and one at 256!

Thanks a lot, Retronic!
PML 1 and PML 3 are new for me, PML 2 is a great upgrade and the compilation is very nice.
I'm so happy with this thread, what a fantastic Parry collection you have got.

If you are interested, I could rip PML 29 "Tomorrow's World". Thanks again.

Thanks a ton Retronic! Amazing shares! 

[Retronic]

Cheers Rocco- 29 would be good.
Maybe add to the other Parry thread and if we get that far we can include here.

PML 04 - Moods For Drama
I picked this up in my first haul at a cost of about 16p a record.  It's worth a bit more now.
I had 800 records to needle drop but it's beats stood out and it featured on my very first (cassette) compilations 
Here it is all FLAC'd up for you guys.
