Nimbus Records, a British label, has an interesting history that has as much -
actually more - to do with technology as it does with classical music. The
label was founded by Numa Labinsky in the early 1970's with a purpose of
recording classical musicians. Nimbus actually opened the first CD
manufacturing plant in the United Kingdom, which was also the second in all of
Europe, preceded only by Philips.
The company's technology, and choice of recording material, has always been good, but its history in terms of a business is checkered.
At this point, after several takeovers, mergers, and everything else imaginable, we believe the company (now known as ODC Nimbus) is still in business, but is no longer producing recordings.
