CLASSICAL Vinyl Labels – PHILIPS

Philips Records is the record label of Dutch electronics giant Philips. It was started as Philips Phonografische Industries (PPI) in 1950. During much of the 1950s, it served to distribute recordings made by the US Columbia Records label in the United Kingdom. In 1962 Philips Records and Deutsche Grammophon were linked into the Phonogram Records joint venture.

In the eighties Philips Classics Records was formed to distribute its classics artists.

Philips Records is currently part of Universal Music.
