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:
“Although crowds gathered once if she but showed her face,
And even old men’s eyes grew dim, this hand alone,
Like some last courtier at a gypsy camping-place
Babbling of fallen majesty, records what’s gone.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
