From The LP Years ©
Danish record company Danacord was founded in the very early years of the 1980s when
the Long Playing record was ruling the phonogram market. Recordings were still done by
analogue tape and on the LP cover the word Stereo proudly signified a brand new recording.
However, the first digital recordings with digital editing were just around the corner and only
a few years into the 1980s came the compact disc that swiped away any request for the LP.
Danacord quickly followed the new technical development and the first Danacord CDs
entered the catalogue leaving behind the LP. From now on everything was recorded digitally
and edited on expensive equipment opening the door for the shining compact disc.
Years later the transfer of original analogue recordings to digital masters for CD production
became more sophisticated and advanced noise-cancelling systems even allowed the old
78 rpm. recordings to be free of crackle, rumble and distortion. The Danacord catalogue
grew quickly and a long series of historical recordings found its way to CD. In fact, with the
latest sound-transfer system developed in the early 2000s Danacord released many historic
recordings, among them the 30-CD box set of Carl Nielsen recordings, which won both
international acclaim and awards (DACOCD 801-830)
Going back to the first years of Danacord Records many fine recordings were done using
analogue equipment and masters were prepared for LP release. Invaluable documents never
made it into the CD era, but now we are determined to make up for these omissions in this
series From The LP Years.
Wherever we could locate the master tapes they were used in this transfer process by the
engineer Claus Byrith from Asinus Studio and only the best and most up to date analogue-todigital
sound equipment was in use. Careful restoration and balance were the top priority.
The result is a wide range of re-releases of these precious nearly-40-year-old tapes. The
musical spectre is wide from old baroque masters to contemporary composers playing their
own works. Important Danish musicians left recordings of their art which we now can hear in
brilliant new transfers. The final result is over a dozen additions to the Danacord CD catalogue.
For many it will be a welcome chance to listen again to the LP recordings in new enhanced
sound on the modern CD.
