ORIOLE
RECORDS
Oriole Records was founded in 1925 by the
London-based Levy Company. The original label was discontinued in 1935.
David Morris Levy and his brother Jacques revived the Oriole label in 1950.
Until 1955 it was the exclusive UK licensee for the American Mercury Records
label. Oriole had two record pressing plants, one in Aston Clinton and the other
in Colnbrook. Even the "big boys", like Decca and EMI often used Oriole’s
pressing facilities when their own had capacity problems. Oriole also
produced Embassy Records for Woolworths Limited. Its repertoire consisted of
cut-price cover versions of British pop hits. The Oriole Record Company lasted
until September 21, 1964, when it was bought, lock, stock and plant, by CBS
Inc., who were looking to set up their own manufacturing facility in the
UK. The result was CBS Records, and with its coming
the Oriole label disappeared forever.
