EMI's progressive off-shoot launched in 1969 at the suggestion of management trainee Malcolm Jones. The label's first release was by the Edgar Broughton Band which was typical of the ground-breaking acts Harvest nurtured. It was probably the most successful of all the UK's progressive labels of it's day, helped in no small measure by the addition of former Columbia recording artists Pink Floyd to its roster. It continued until the early 80s, it's last number one album being The Final Cut by Pink Floyd. It now lies dormant except for a recent CD box set anthology which goes nowhere near far enough to doing it justice.
