CD archive service

Many schools have over decades taken enormous trouble to document the musical lives within them by making recordings - of the annual carol service, the end of year production or a particularly special concert. Such recordings are irreplaceable, capturing unique moments in a school's history.

A large number of these still remain stored on media which are so easily damaged - perhaps on vinyl long playing records which become dusty and scratched, or on analogue cassettes which can wear out or become stretched over time. Whilst we so often take good care to look after our libraries of books and photographs, far less care is taken over our recordings

Priory Records are pleased to offer a service whereby we can transfer your old recordings - whether on LP, analogue cassette or reel-to-reel tape - to the far safer meduim of CD. Additionally, with the use of the Cedar restoration system during transcription, we can eliminate some of the annoying surface noise which can plague such recordings, bringing you closer to the actual sound.
