==========================================
Historic Masters was a historical reissue record label dedicated to making available quality
pressings on vinyl of rare 78 rpm recordings of opera singers.
Originally an offshoot of the British Institute of Recorded Sound, Historic Masters was the
brainchild of the actor, record collector and connoisseur of singers, Richard Bebb. The initial
Historic Masters release was planned as a subscriber-only series of twenty reissues, pressed
on high quality vinyl using original metal parts from the EMI archive.
The first release was despatched to subscribers in 1973. Despite making a profit, the British
Institute of Recorded Sound lost interest in the project. To fill the gap, Historic Masters Ltd,
was set up as an independent company. It was able to release its first reissue in 1983: a set of
five records produced in a similar manner as before and again distributed on a subscriber-only
basis.
Many more releases followed along similar lines, including some records which had never
previously been released in any format. As of 2011, when Historic Masters ceased operation,
they had released over two hundred discs by historic singers, including larger collections of
recordings by Fernando De Lucia, Nellie Melba, Adelina Patti and Francesco Tamagno.
