Two different Columbia records as it happens.

Columbia in the US were CBS, now Sony. CBS was used in UK (and, in fact, everywhere outside North America) as the label as Columbia records in the UK was Columbia Gramophone who were part of EMI.

One of records mentioned above, Gerry and the Pacemakers, were on Columbia here (EMI) as were Pink Floyd which wasn’t same as Simon & Garfunkel who were US Columbia (CBS).
It wasn’t all sorted out until EMI sold the rights to Columbia name in UK and rest of the world (outside North America) to Sony in 1990.


Bloody forensic accountants!

Anyway, everybody knows full well that Columbia = Sir Cliff for goodness sake...

I worked in that industry at the time (late 80s, early 90s).

That record is, for example, Columbia Gramophone. Part of EMI. You can see it at the top!

Edit - Graphophone even. Bloody auto correct keeps changing it.

That must have been fun, I’d imagine?

It was. I worked for Touche Ross at the time (now Deloitte), in the music and film division.

Spent a lot of my time at Sarm Studios but also did quite a bit with EMI as we worked for Kate Bush and for Hit & Run (Genesis, Peter Gabriel etc).

Great thread. Was thinking of doing a Capitol one but it would attract the wrong type

Any tales of divahood and rock’n’roll excess?

Then again, Genesis. Sensible knitwear and a nice cup of tea would more likely have been the order of the day.

‘Columbia’ was also the first song that Noel Gallagher wrote with Oasis. Named after a London hotel.

Genetically, paedophiles have more genes in common with crabs than they do with you and me. Now that is scientific fact. There's no real evidence for it, but it is scientific fact.

When it came to business, they were all very much on the ball... the excess tended to disappear when talking about their money!
