We're releasing new Presto CD titles at a rate of knots at the moment, with almost 200 Philips titles of various genres and vintages coming back to life this week - many of them otherwise available only as downloads or as part of boxed sets, if at all. We've selected ten releases below which we're particularly glad to see back in the catalogue; you can browse through all the new Philips releases here, and view all available Presto CDs here.
