Musical Heritage Society
Musical Heritage Society, was an American mail-order budget record label founded in New York City in 1962 by Michael "Mischa" Naida, (1900–1991), co-founder of Westminster Records, and T. C. Fry Jr. (1926–1996). After a small initial group of pseudonymous issues licensed from the Telemann Society and Philips, MHS began to issue large numbers of recordings licensed from Erato. Eventually the label issued most of the Erato catalogue, including discs previously issued on several US retail labels. In 1976, Naida sold the firm to Albert Nissim (1923–2010), who moved the offices to Oakhurst, New Jersey. Albert Nissim's two sons, Jeffrey R. (born 1954) and Robert, assumed most of the duties for the family business. By 1980, the label had a catalog of over 3,000 discs, most of which were licensed from small European companies. From May 1981 until 1999, MHS produced and sold retail its own recordings using the label MusicMasters. After that, MHS licensed standard repertory from EMI and Polygram. In July 2011, Passionato LLC, based in Montclair, New Jersey, purchased Musical Heritage Society, which at the time, had over 100,000 CD, DVD, and SACD titles in its database.
