Argo Records

Argo Records was a record label founded by Harley Usill and Cyril Clarke in 1951 with the intention of recording "British music played by British artists",[1] but it became a company specialising in spoken word and other non-commercial material. Argo was bought by British Decca in 1957. The label was relaunched in 1990 as an imprint of Decca with the intent to concentrate on choral, organ, and British and American classical music. Releases continued throughout the 1990s. The last release was in 1998.
