Angel was a record label incorporated by EMI who produced great records.
9.2.4. Audiophile (AUDP)
Audiophile is known amongst record collectors for her great recordings, on both 78rpm
and microgroove LP. Acoustic Sounds proposed the reissue of some Audiophile
recordings on coloured heavy weight vinyl some 15 years ago. The label was mainly
devoted to jazz and blues.
9.2.5. Capitol (CAP)
Capitol had a large production of very good mono recordings.
9.2.6. Columbia (COL)
Columbia is the inventor of microgroove LP, which got to success after a market war
against RCA, who was sponsoring a 45rpm microgroove standard.
9.2.7. HMV
HMV (His Master’s Voice, after the painting with the dog Nipper listening to a
gramophone), formerly The Gramophone Company, is one of the oldest record labels
ever. It later became part of EMI when the latter bought Capitol, and had RCA as
shareholder for a certain time. From 1948 to 1954 recorded a lot of jazz, pop and classical
music, pressing LP’s with her proprietary curve.
9.2.8. Decca/London FFRR
The English Decca developed her FFRR LP curve based on the 78rpm eq curve with the
same name. Most of the great recordings of the stereo era (after 1954) were also
produced in mono and used to make the mono LP’s cut using the FFRR curve.
9.2.9. MGM
The famous entertainment company also produced LP’s during the mono era using her
proprietary curve.
