Established in 2006 The Roundtable is an independent record label based in Melbourne Australia. It’s objective has been clear since day one – To discover and re-document lost recordings and neglected music from around the globe. Reissues and premiere releases of forgotten film soundtracks, unheard library music, rare jazz, vintage electronic music and beyond… An archival imprint acclaimed for introducing works of important composers including Sven Libaek, Ennio Morricone and Amancio D’Silva to a wider audience. Its finely curated roster is distinguished as it is inspired.
The high production values and attention to detail given to their speciality releases has earned The Roundtable an international reputation with obscure music aficionados and record collectors alike. The Roundtable has collaborated on records with some of the most celebrated archival labels in the world, including like-minded rare music excavators Finders Keepers, Trunk and Jazzman Records.
With a specific focus on jazz and film music The Roundtable has also set an ambitious task of unearthing forgotten recordings from the Australian underground, an archival challenge showcasing the labels in-depth knowledge, relentless detective work and creative vision. Who would have thought that the lost master tapes of John Barry’s legendary Walkabout soundtrack would ever be discovered or that Krautrock pioneer Klaus Schulze scored a Giallo-horror soundtrack in Australia or that the cult space-rock duo Cybotron made an unreleased album? These recordings and more incredible sounds can be heard on the ever expanding catalogue of The Roundtable.
