Page "Parlophone" Paragraph 7

After Martin left to form the Associated Independent Recording ( AIR ) Studios in 1965, the Parlophone Company was absorbed into EMI's Gramophone Company unit ( renamed EMI Records in 1973 ) with the Parlophone label maintaining its identity.

For a long time Parlophone claimed the best selling UK single " She Loves You ", and the best selling UK album Sgt.

Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

The label also achieved placement of seven singles at # 1 during 1964, when it also claimed top spot in the album charts for 40 of the 52 weeks during that year.
