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in their catalogue would be withdrawn after March 31, 1962.
