DELYSE
RECORDS

 Delysé Was the first record company to be owned and run by a woman.  Classical pianist Isabella Wallich started the Delysé label in 1954.  Rather than compete with mainstream labels she looked for niche markets, beginning with records of Welsh Folk music and expanding into Irish Folk, stories for children, Sacred music and unfamiliar pieces of Classical music.   Several artists who later became famous made their first solo recordings for Delysé, among them Geraint Evans, Janet Baker and guitarist John Williams.  A series of EPs of stories from the Thomas The Tank Engine books, read by Johnny Morris, proved particularly popular. EPs were numbered in at least two different catalogue series: EDP-200 and DEL-100; According to Ms. Wallich's obituary, funding for her various musical projects ran out in 1979, though she continued to produce the occasional record - she was also the first woman record producer.  She died in 2001. Thanks to Robert Lyons for the info. Delysé Former Address 25 Marylebone Road London N.W.1
