Talk:Zonophone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As far as I can find, Zonophone lable has not been in use since the 1980s. Anyone seen anything more recent? Wondering simply, Infrogmation 22:40 30 May 2003 (UTC)
[edit] Longevity
"When HMV and Columbia(UK) merged to form Electrical and Musical Industries, Ltd. (EMI), the lower-priced labels of the two firms were merged also as Regal Zonophone, which continued until c. 1949."
This suggests that the Regal Zonophone brand name has not been used since 1949, which is plainly not the case at all.
As implied by the Regal Zonophone article, EMI used the Regal Zonophone name continuously from the 1930s until at least the 1970s, and then resurrected the marque again in the 1990s. 217.155.20.163 00:42, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
This article also states that Victor retired the Zonophone brand in the US in 1910, but that plainly isn't true judging by the label image on the article page, which includes (within the rather extensive copyright blurb around the edge of the label) a date of May 1, 1911. 217.155.20.163 00:59, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
