Set brings together all 4 releases in ASV / Gaudeamus series of Ludford’s Masses:
[r19071400] [r6043036] [r6043761] [r6043800]

The information in [l342146], [l342162] and [l384694] suggests a time frame for manufacture and release. Of the 4 CDs, Vol. 2, with its added “Made in U.K. by PDO” credit, may date from late 1996. Vols. 2, 3 and 4 were made between April 1996 and June 1998, while PMDC was still using the PDO numbering system. Volume 1’s matrix pattern (“cat## plus 01 % or &”) assigns it to the period between June 1998 and April 1999, making it the last to be manufactured. It seems possible that the set was released in the same period.
