PLG UK Catalog

PLG UK Catalog is a British record company that was established on July 1, 1973. It was the parent company behind the EMI record division and owned various trademarks and imprints such as *Columbia Grafonola*, *HMV*, and *Roulette*. The company manufactured records at their plant in Middlesex. In 1978, EMI Ltd. reorganized its records division under the newly formed division called EMI Music Europe & International. In 2004, the majority of these imprints were reassigned to sister company EMI (IP) Ltd. PLG UK Catalog remained a subsidiary of EMI Ltd. until it was sold to PLG Holdco Ltd., which was later purchased by Warner Music Group.

In September 2012, certain US and select international interests of PLG UK Catalog were acquired by Vivendi S.A., owner of Universal Music Group. The bulk of the catalog was merged and spun off for sale. Prior to being acquired by Warner Music Group, PLG UK Catalog's rights were transferred to Parlophone Records Ltd.

PLG UK Catalog played a significant role in representing iconic artists such as *The Beatles*, *John Lennon*, *Ringo Starr*, and *George Harrison*. Their rights to master recordings remained with UMG under Calderstone Productions Limited.

Charles Mingus was an American jazz multi-instrumentalist, composer, bandleader, and civil rights activist. Born on April 22, 1922 in Nogales, Arizona, USA, he was a forerunner in double bass technique and pioneered innovative studio techniques such as overdubbing and tape cutting. Mingus also authored the autobiographical novel "Beneath The Underdog". He passed away at the age of 56 on January 5, 1979 in Cuernavaca, Mexico due to Lou Gehrig's disease.

This year marks the birth centenary of Charles Mingus, whose musical legacy is still ongoing. From artists like Kamasi Washington bringing him to a new generation, Chrissie Hynde, whose latest album includes a Mingus cover, Candace Springs, Elvis Costello, to Gang Starr sampling him, and Joni Mitchell writing lyrics to his music. Originally released in 1957 on the Jubilee label, Mingus Three is one of only two albums led by Mingus in a trio setting, featuring pianist Hampton Hawes and drummer Dannie Richmond. This remastered release includes a whole extra disc of previously unreleased outtakes, discovered by chance, from these sessions, as well as liner notes by Charles Mingus’ friend and colleague Sy Johnson.
