CRI Update

New World Records is pleased to announce the availability of the first batch of digitized CRI LPs as premium-quality on-demand CD-Rs, including the original liner notes. Twenty titles, including music by Charles Amirkhanian, Jack Beeson, Easley Blackwood, Julian Carrillo, Theodore Chanler, Mario Davidovsky, Robert Erickson, Ben Johnston, Kenneth Gaburo, John Melby, Quincy Porter, Vladimir Ussachevsky, and Robert Ward comprise the first set of releases, with approximately 15-20 titles expected to be added each month. The goal is to have the entire unissued LP catalog of some 400 titles available by the middle of next year. All titles have been carefully transferred from the original tapes but have not been remastered—i.e. they are “flat” transfers. Please note that where tracks from the LP were previously issued on a CRI CD, we have used those transfers so there may be an audible difference between those and the unmastered tracks.

With a few exceptions all titles preceding NWCR 521 are LP titles and are designated by the NWCRL prefix. They are priced at $12.99 and are not included in any of the special offers.

Please note as well that after the first two batches of releases the remainder of the titles will be issued in numerical sequence.

*****************************************************************************************************************************

The entire CRI CD catalog of titles, with the exception of those that have been reissued on New World itself, is also available as premium-quality burn-on-demand CDs. New World/CRI on-demand CD-Rs include the original liner notes and cover art. The price is the same as that for regular New World CDs and all special offers are also applicable. To facilitate identification, the original catalog numbers have been maintained, except that they are now preceded by the NWCR prefix.
