- Linn Records
Linn Records is a
Glasgow -basedrecord label which specialises in classical,jazz and Scottish music. It is part ofLinn Products .While Linn engineers were testing their flagship product, the Sondek LP12 turntable, they became frustrated with some of the specialist test LPs they were using. 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.
Today they are an audiophile label, specialising in classical, jazz and Celtic music. Release formats include CD, SACD, HDCD, Vinyl and digital downloads.
Current artists include Claire Martin,
Barb Jungr andCarol Kidd .The Blue Nile released their first two albums on Linn, which was originally created to sign them to a record deal, as well asHue and Cry .More recently Linn Records have added "Studio Master" downloads to their website. These files are available in
FLAC format, as well asWindows Media Audio andMP3 . The music does not include DRM technology.See also
