Small stamps on record labels
Stamps on Recordings by Adam Miller
"...often the record label had printed upon it a facsimile of a stamp..."
The stamps waned in popularity rapidly after 1930, and were
almost completely gone by 1940. In Australia, however, several
companies persisted into the 1950s and even the 1960s.
Regal Zonophone
Regal Zonophone Records was a British record label formed in 1932,
through a merger of British Regal Records and Zonophone.
It was a subsidiary of EMI (Electric and Musical Industries,
the world's largest recording company for decades).

The History of EMI Music
by Tony Locantro
To avoid bankruptcy, the Gramophone Company and its arch-rival
the Columbia Graphophone Company merged in April 1931
to form Electric and Musical Industries (EMI).
The last new 78rpm record on EMI labels was issued in Britain in 1960.
Early in 1962 EMI notified the retail trade that all 78rpm records
in their catalogue would be withdrawn after March 31, 1962.
