Argo Records (UK)
Argo Records was a record label founded in 1951 by Harley Usill and musicologist Cyril Clarke with £500 capital, initially as a company specialising in "British music played by British artists", but it quickly became a company primarily specialising in spoken-word recordings and other esoteric (or commercially marginal) material.

“It’s always the generals with the bloodiest records who are the first to shout what a hell it is. And it’s always the war widows who lead the Memorial Day parades.”
