According to J. Scott Morrison's Amazon March 11, 2004 review the Newport
Classics re-issue was already out of print and was then made available
by a company run by a person we all know here:

   Many of us remember the excitement at the appearance, in the
   late 1980s, of Barbara Nissman's recordings of the complete
   Prokofiev piano sonatas on Newport Classics.  It was the first
   complete set ever released, as far as I know, and was immediately
   a best seller.  Unfortunately, though, the Newport CDs are no
   longer in print.  Enter Pierian Records.  Pierian Records is a
   non-profit company, run pretty much as a one-man show by Karl
   Miller in Austin, Texas and 'dedicated to the preservation of
   historic recordings and obscure literature.'

Having only recently dedicated my life to Prokofiev, I shall be adding
these to my wish lists.

Thanks,
