Zonophone - 1960s

1960s

In 1967 Regal Zonophone was revived again as an EMI label, featuring acts signed to music publisher David Platz's independent production group, Straight Ahead, several of which had seen chart action on Decca's Deram label. Chief among these were Procol Harum (with their label the inspiration for their "Magdalene (My Regal Zonophone)"), and The Move, joined by Marc Bolan's Tyrannosaurus Rex and Joe Cocker. This new impetus was largely dissipated by 1970, when many of the Straight Ahead acts moved to the Fly and Cube labels, although new releases as well as reissues were issued on the Regal Zonophone label through the late 1970s.
