Label EU

Parlophone Label Group (Plg)

Genre EU

Multinational label.
Label Code: [b]LC 0299 / LC 00299[/b]
[b]Please note, many Parlophone issues also carry an EMI logo. This is not a label and EMI should not be added as a label, it instead indicates that Parlophone was part of the EMI Group.[/b]

Parlophone is an anglicization of the German [l=Parlophon] label, registered as a trademark in 1902 by Max Straus and Heinrich Zuntz of [b]Salon Kinematograph Co. GmbH[/b], later merged into [l=Carl Lindström A.-G.]. The first Parlophon records are pressed in 1910. 

By 1923, Parlophone proper appears in London administered by English Lindström branch known as [l311921],  Parlophon records were pressed in London and sold locally. By 1926 extended operations extended to press for export in Australia (#cat A) until the australian factory [l=Parlophone Co. Ltd.] was created somewhere the next year. These companies were subsequently taken over by [l97841] in 1927, following its acquisition of [l275192] in 1926, thus becoming a constituent part of [l293204] (EMI) when that company merged with [l253617] in 1931.

The label largely operated as a Jazz and Novelty label until manager, [a=George Martin], signed the [a=The Beatles] in 1962. As a result of its subsequent success and profile, the label was earmarked for phasing out in 1973 in favour of [l=EMI] (the label), however the parlophone imprint continued to be used by registered trademark owner [l=EMI Records Ltd.] and affiliated companies.

In September 2012 following the acquisition of [l1330982]'s US and Asian interests by [l=Universal Music Group], Parlophone and the former EMI Records Ltd. were merged as the [l806790] (PLG Holdco Ltd.) and spun off to be sold. 

They were sold to [l=Warner Music Group] in March 2013.
The Parlophone label is now owned by [l=Parlophone Records Ltd.], the re-named EMI Records Ltd., itself a subsidiary of [l=Warner Music International].

The Beatles were not part of the Parlophone Label Group and their catalogue was acquired by [l=Universal].

back in stock and cheaper. david bowie set out on his first us tour. he'd recently introduced the world to his ziggy stardust persona with his top 5 album 'the rise and fall of ziggy stardust and the spiders from mars' and had completed a hugely successful uk tour. the santa monica concert, david's first live us radio broadcast, was aired live on kmet in l.a. over the last 36 years this historic recording has only been occasionally available as a bootleg. for many, ownership of this concert was regarded as a true test of being a 'proper bowie fan'. this powerful, galvanizing show allows a more than 70 minute glimpse into the earliest nationwide live radio exposure granted david and the spiders. the set list is compiled primarily from the 'hunky dory' and 'ziggy stardust' albums and features two covers, jacques brel's 'my death' and the velvet underground's 'waiting for the man', alongside the awesome power of 'the man who sold the world' centrepiece 'the width of a circle' (this version is a ten and a half minute sonic assault) and an 'aladdin sane' previewing 'the jean genie'. the set list is also quite different from the ziggy terminating 'ziggy stardust - the motion picture soundtrack'. accompanying david was the spiders from mars: mick ronson - guitar, vocals, trevor bolder - bass, mick 'woody' woodmansey - drums and mike garson - piano. this is david bowie at the pinnacle of his creative power - in 1981 nme critics called it, '(quite simply) ... the performer's, and one of rock's, best ever bootlegs'.
