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.

Famous quotes containing the word records:
“Philosophy, astronomy, and politics were marked at zero, I remember. Botany variable, geology profound as regards the mud stains from any region within fifty miles of town, chemistry eccentric, anatomy unsystematic, sensational literature and crime records unique, violin player, boxer, swordsman, lawyer, and self-poisoner by cocaine and tobacco.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
