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.

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...............

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!
