However, the label went bankrupt in 1997 after its founder, Daniel Waldner died in a mountain climbing accident in 1995.

The new label gave Frith an opportunity to re-issue material from his archives that would have been difficult to release elsewhere. Advances in technology also enabled Frith to remaster the original recordings and produce a sound much closer to what was originally intended. Remaster (and its derivations frequently found in the phrases digitally remastered or digital remastering) is a word marketed mostly in the digital audio age although In addition, Frith has released previously unreleased material by himself and in collaboration with other musicians. To create a consistent image for the label as a whole, Frith has used the artist, Tomas Kurth to illustrate the CD covers, often incorporating elements of the original LP covers in the design.
