Parlophone

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].

Pet Shop Boys are an English musical duo formed in London in 1981. The duo consists of Neil Tennant, who handles main vocals, keyboards, and occasional guitar, and Chris Lowe, who plays keyboards and occasionally provides vocals. They hold the title of the most successful duo in UK music history according to The Guinness Book of Records.
In the early 90s, Pet Shop Boys operated their own record labels including Spaghetti Recordings. More recently, they have been associated with Olde English and Lucky Kunst labels.
In March 2013, after a long-standing relationship with Parlophone spanning 28 years, the duo officially left the label. They entered into a new arrangement with Kobalt Label Services for their twelfth studio album. This album marked their first release on their own music imprint called x2 (2).

Yes was produced by Brian Higgins and his production team Xenomania. The record debuted at number four on the UK Albums Chart upon release and was nominated for Best Electronic / Dance Album at the 2010 Grammy Awards. This expanded version of the album features guests including The Human League’s Phil Oakey, who shares vocals with Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe on This Used to be the Future. Johnny Marr also appears on Yes, his guitar work featuring on several tracks including the single, Did You See Me Coming?. The album’s lead single and UK Top 20 hit, Love Etc., became PSB’s ninth number one hit on Billboard’s Hot Dance Club Songs chart in the USA, breaking the record for most chart-topping singles by a duo or group on the Billboard Dance Chart.

3CD - This reissue of Yes includes - alongside the remastered original album - Pet Shop Boys’ previously unreleased monitor mix of The Loving Kind, a song which became a Top 10 hit for Girls Aloud, as well as previously unreleased demos of songs from the 2010 Young Vic Theatre production, My Dad’s A Birdman. PSB mixes of Did You See me Coming?, The Former Enfant Terrible and more are also included. It comes packaged with an extensive booklet in which Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe discuss each song, illustrated with many archive photographs. The entire project is designed by Farrow.
