REGAL ZONOPHONE
RECORDS
Regal Zonophone Records was a British record
label formed in 1932, through a merger of the Regal Records and Zonophone
Records labels. This followed the merger of those labels' respective parent
companies - the Columbia Graphophone Company and the Gramophone Company - to
form EMI. Originally Regal Zonophone handled American
releases from Okeh Records, Victor Records and Columbia Records, as well as
offering home-grown recordings by artists such as Gracie Fields and George
Formby. The label is also well known for its releases of Salvation Army
(particularly brass band) music. In the 1950s the Australian
division of Regal Zonophone played an important role in the emerging Australian
country music genre, signing several emerging country stars including Slim
Dusty, Smoky Dawson, Reg Lindsay and Chad Morgan. Slim Dusty's 1957 Regal
Zonophone hit "A Pub With No Beer" became the biggest-selling Australian
recording ever released up to that time. EMI revived
the Regal Zonophone imprint in 1967 to handle the Essex Music/Straight Ahead
producing account that had moved from Deram (after one Procol Harum single and
two singles by The Move) and continued well into the early 1970s, with
successful producers Denny Cordell and Tony Visconti both having production
companies releasing records through the label. During this period the label had
both album and single success with artists such as The Move, Joe Cocker,
Tyrannosaurus Rex and Procol Harum. During the mid 1970s, many of these
production deals ended and, despite a few sporadic releases by Blue Mink,
Geordie and Dave Edmunds, eventually EMI ceased to use the imprint as a major
pop label. Many of the label's artists moved to Fly Records or to the EMI
imprint. Regal Zonophone was revived at the end
of the 1990s as a reissue label curated by the UK band Saint Etienne. This
incarnation of the label is no longer active, as EMI has relaunched Regal and
Zonophone as separate imprints.
