PYE
RECORDS
Independent label: Pye Records was a British record label whose best
known artist was Petula Clark, who recorded for the label from 1957 through
1971. The Pye Company originally sold televisions and radios and entered the
record business when it bought Nixa Records in 1953. In 1955, Pye acquired
Polygon Records, a label that had been established by Clark's father to control
distribution of her recordings, and merged it with Nixa Records to form Pye Nixa
Records. In 1959, the name was changed to Pye Records and ATV acquired 50% of
the label. ATV bought the other half of the business in 1966. Two subsidiaries
were created during the sixties: Pye Golden Guinea Records and Piccadilly. They
were replaced by Dawn Records (2) in the seventies. Pye also had several series
and sub-labels, such as Pye International and Pye Jazz. As of September 1980 the
rights to the name Pye expired and the label was renamed to PRT Records. Pye UK
