Part of the
Beechwood Music group, Mastercuts was founded by Ian Dewhirst with the intention of releasing specialised compilation albums, many of which contained "classic" (and sometimesout of print ) recordings.
Though Dewhirst left after 21 releases, the label continued to issue albums based around a similar template until 2004, when Beechwood dissolved.
