Launched in the late 60s as a series of Boosey & Hawkes production music LPs, Cavendish became a fully fledged library label when Boosey switched to CDs in 1987. It later became an imprint of Imagem Production Music (BooseyPM's new name as of September 2010), alongside Abaco Music Library, Strip Sounds, PPM and the Boosey & Hawkes Classical Library.
The first handful of Cavendish Archive albums are remastered versions of older Boosey & Hawkes albums.
SBH 2997 = CAVA 01
SBH 3043 = CAVA 02 & 03
SBH 3049 = CAVA 04
SBH 3063 = CAVA 05 & 06
SBH 3074 = CAVA 07 & 08
The rest seem to be compilations from older Cavendish and Boosey & Hawkes releases.
Fun fact: On
CAVA 10 - Fromage a la Funk: Fromage, track 4 is the theme music to a very well-known internet meme from youtube. If you've been paying attention to youtube in the last decade, you're probably quite familiar with this tune.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAl28d6tbkoMost of these are not on discogs and they came completely untagged. Rather than spend the next week pulling my hair out tagging these track by track, I gave them some basic tags like track names, album names, track numbers, but the artist and albumartist fields are empty. Those that are on discogs (a few are re-re-issued CDs) were tagged properly.
