History
York House Recordings was founded by David Elliott, who also published a magazine called Neumusik. Elliott put out a series of cassettes in parallel with the magazine featuring artists from all over the world.
YHR released music by Cluster & Farnbauer (Live In Vienna) and Asmus Tietchens (Musik aus der Grauzone and Musik An Der Grenze) which had been rejected as too unusual by Sky Records. Other notable artists with releases by YHR include Maurizio Bianchi, Günter Schickert, Andrew Cox, Peter Schafer, Paul Nagle, Duallien, and Elliott's own band MFH, later known as Pump.
Many YHR releases were subsequently reissued by Auricle Music on cassette after the demise of the label. A number have also been reissued on LP or CD by an assortment of labels.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There is one great fact, characteristic of this our nineteenth century, a fact which no party dares deny. On the one hand, there have started into life industrial and scientific forces which no epoch of former human history had ever suspected. On the other hand, there exist symptoms of decay, far surpassing the horrors recorded of the latter times of the Roman empire. In our days everything seems pregnant with its contrary.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“Man watches his history on the screen with apathy and an occasional passing flicker of horror or indignation.”
—Conor Cruise O’Brien (b. 1917)
“We are told that men protect us; that they are generous, even chivalric in their protection. Gentlemen, if your protectors were women, and they took all your property and your children, and paid you half as much for your work, though as well or better done than your own, would you think much of the chivalry which permitted you to sit in street-cars and picked up your pocket- handkerchief?”
—Mary B. Clay, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 3, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
