Marine Pavilion Band 78 rpm Regal Zonophone record label “Marching to a Military Band” recorded May 1933


Regal Zonophone Records was a British record label formed in 1932, through a merger of the Regal and Zonophone labels. This followed the merger of those labels' respective parent companies - the Columbia Graphophone Company and the Gramophone Company - to form EMI. At the merger, those records from the Regal Records catalogue were prefixed 'MR' and those from the Zonophone Records catalogue were prefixed 'T'.[1] Record releases after the merger continued using only the 'MR' Regal Zonophone handled American releases from Okeh Records, Victor Records and Columbia Records, as well as offering home-grown recordings by artists such as Gracie Fields[3] and George Formby.[4] The label is also known for its releases of Salvation Army (particularly brass band) music.
