Westminster Gold

Please consider using ABC Westminster Gold as 2nd label if it appears on the release. 1970s classical label later renamed ABC Westminster Gold from '74 and remembered primarily for the cover art created by graphic artist Christopher Whorf (who also created a number of Dot Records album covers as well as the cover art of John Lennon's Double Fantasy album). Sir Adrian Boult, Julian Bream, Beverly Sills, Dame Kiri te Kanawa, John Williams (7) and Daniel Barenboim all recorded for the label. Recordings licensed from the Russian state-owned label Мелодия –and not used by Angel through Melodiya/Angel– were released on the US market from March 25, 1973 on Westminster Gold, on ABC Westminster Gold from 1974 and later on ABC Westminster Gold/Melodiya. The catalog is now managed by Deutsche Grammophon which has been reissuing albums in recent years.
