Checking the new releases at CPO's site, I noticed they mention releases
"1 until 13". In German, this would be "1 bis 13" (I think), thus
producing not quite the right translation into English. And at BIS (the
label's) site, the name is in capitals. I checked a BIS CD to find the
full name is "Grammofon AB BIS", so presumably BIS is an acronym. A
versatile word indeed.
