The label released a variety of classical music albums, showcasing symphonic classics and immortal compositions. Each LP was a treasure trove of musical excellence.

Horace Grenell, a part owner of Abbey Record Manufacturing Co., Inc., played a significant role in the production of these records. He also served as a consultant and repertory director for two mail-order record companies: Music Treasures of the World and The Children’s Record Guild.

While the primary focus was on classical composers, there might have been other genres included in the collection. The records featured various artists, and each side of the albums showcased musical gems.

Whether you’re a seasoned classical music enthusiast or a curious listener, these LPs offer a delightful journey through the world of musical treasures!
