1980s
In the early 1980s, Zonophone was revived by EMI to ride the post punk train with artists such as Angelic Upstarts, The Barracudas, The Cockney Rejects, and compilations such as the Oi! album.
By the mid 1980s the Zonophone imprint had disappeared again. It was not until the mid to late 1990s that it reappeared in a different guise, as a home for back catalogue artists of cult credibility and the odd one off single. Zonophone has now become the home to The Cramps' Illegal recordings in the UK alongside David Axelrod produced albums by David McCallum, the cult sitar classic Lord Sitar, Cilla Black and compilations of Capitol era material from such as Glen Campbell and Bobbie Gentry.
