Linn RecordsGramophone Label of the Year 2010!
Part of Linn Products Ltd, world leaders in sound reproduction equipment, Linn Records was formed in 1983.
While Linn engineers were testing their flagship product, the Sondek LP12 turntable, they became frustrated with the poor quality of some of the specialist test LPs they were using. The measurements were swamped by record imperfections. Better test discs were needed so work began on an LP cutting lathe as a research product to improve testing for the LP12.
The first albums to be cut and subsequently released were Carol Kidd's debut album and A Walk Across the Rooftops by the Blue Nile. Thus Linn Records was born...
Today the label is one of the world's leading audiophile labels specialising in classical, jazz and Celtic music. The music is reproduced on CD (or SACD), Vinyl and now also as high quality downloads.
There is a whole world of Linn music to explore. The high quality sound reproduction that results from their investment of time and effort means that as a listener you can simply hear more, and hear it more clearly. It can sound uncannily like the musicians are in the room with you. As the true qualities of the music are more audible, music that you never thought would move you starts to make sense, and its seductive power can be tremendous.
Linn believe that music is essential for human well-being and the better it is reproduced the more benefit it delivers. Because of this they record their music to the highest specification. This means that great care is taken in recording sessions and in the manufacturing process to ensure that the atmosphere and integrity of the musical performance is maintained.
