Cala United

Cala Records is a boutique, London-based label known for its creative programming and high quality recorded sound. The label was formed in 1990 by the Australian conductor Geoffrey Simon and the New York attorney and arts advocate Daniel Schiffman. Cala Records Ltd is a UK company with a subsidiary, Cala Records, Inc., in the USA. The label has released over 100 CDs, and is typical of today’s recording industry where small independent labels, capable of generating new ideas and producing high quality music, are achieving increasing prominence relative to the traditional “majors”. The Cala Records team includes such award-winning producers and engineers as Tim Handley, Phil Rowlands, Nick Parker, Paschal Byrne, Paul Baily, Simon Eadon, Chris Hazell and Adam Abeshouse. Their brief is to create for the label a recorded sound which is similar in immediacy and ambience to the live concert experience. Cala has apparently been using at least three different logos on the front covers over the years; CALA UNITED ~2000, UNITED ~2010, and CALA recent. taken from http://www.calarecords.com/acatalog/About_Us.html
