-	Anthea Gifford at Coughton Court. National Trust NT CD001 (U.K.)

The two titles above are from a special record label that was
established in collaberation with the National Trust (a public body in
England that holds old houses and important pieces of land for the
nation), the idea was to record music of the correct period in the old
houses. The first two C.D.s are the only UHJ encoded discs on the label.
In theory they are only available at National Trust properties and
shops, and I saw them at one house earlier this year, but they are
distributed by Droffig Recordings, PO Box 1919, London N6  4PE.
