Historic Masters

Historic Masters was a historical reissue record label, based in Takeley, Essex, England, dedicated to making available quality pressings on vinyl of rare 78 rpm recordings of opera singers. Historic Masters Ltd claimed to be, to its knowledge, "the only company in the world issuing 78 rpm discs of historic vocal and operatic material on a regular basis". Historic Masters Ltd appears to have ceased operation in 2011 after the death of Roger Beardsley who was director. The Historic Masters website was not maintained after this and of 2020 is a holding page.
