CONROY MUSIC LIBRARY
Another mighty fine British label. Formed by the Berry Music Co. Ltd. label in 1958. Based in Denmark Street, London, just like its peers, it established very quickly utilising the worlds best composers, some of which were already established with other libraries, whilst others soon joined the ranks and started to compose for other libraries.
With music being performed by The Connaught Light Orchestra early in the formation of the company, Conroy knew that they were going to have some of the best musicians and session players at hand.
The catalogue expanded over the years with releases starting at BM 101 and ending at around BM 500, this is one of the largest libraries for 78's. Of course they went on to release 10'' albums and normal 12'' albums too, the library relished in its 'hit list'

Peter Yorke
Charles Smitton
Paul Fenhoulhet
Felton Rapley
Kurt Rehfeld
Bruce Campbell
Roger Barsotti
