Angel was a record label incorporated by EMI who produced great records.

9.2.4. Audiophile (AUDP)

Audiophile is known amongst record collectors for her great recordings, on both 78rpm
and microgroove LP. Acoustic Sounds proposed the reissue of some Audiophile
recordings on coloured heavy weight vinyl some 15 years ago. The label was mainly
devoted to jazz and blues.

9.2.5. Capitol (CAP)

Capitol had a large production of very good mono recordings.

against RCA, who was sponsoring a 45rpm microgroove standard.

9.2.7. HMV

HMV (His Master's Voice, after the painting with the dog Nipper listening to a
gramophone), formerly The Gramophone Company, is one of the oldest record labels
ever. It later became part of EMI when the latter bought Capitol, and had RCA as
shareholder for a certain time. From 1948 to 1954 recorded a lot of jazz, pop and classical
music, pressing LP's with her proprietary curve.
