Appian Publications & Recordings is a British company specialising in the restoration and re-issue of early recordings of classical music. Known as APR, the company was apparently the brainchild of Edwin Alan and much of the transferring and remastering of historical recordings was done by Bryan Crimp, who previously spent time with EMI. The APR website refers to Crimp as the founder, and the company changed hands after his retirement in Sept 2004, and was relocated from Hexham in Northumberland to London. The new owner is Mike Spring who is employed at Hyperion Records.
