Philips Records began during TheForties. Shortly after UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, the company expanded significantly through buying the Dutch division of [[Creator/DeccaRecords British Decca]]. Its fortunes improved even further in 1953, when it became the European licensee for Creator/ColumbiaRecords, which had ended its distribution deal with Creator/{{EMI}}; this gave Philips access to top American talent such as Tony Bennett, Frankie Laine and Johnnie Ray.[[note]]Philips also had the rights to US Columbia's subsidiaries [[Creator/EpicRecords Epic]] and [[Creator/OkehRecords Okeh]] for a while, although those rights were transferred to Creator/EMIColumbiaRecords before finally winding up with European CBS in 1968.[[/note]] The label also signed some British singers, such as Music/ShirleyBassey and TeenIdol Marty Wilde. In the middle of the decade, Philips created its own sublabel, Creator/FontanaRecords.

'''Note:''' Many of these acts appeared on other Philips/Phonogram-affiliated labels (Fontana, Mercury, Smash, Vertigo) in various nations. Since the Mercury and Fontana trademarks weren't used in Australia for most of the 1960s, artists who were signed to those labels for the rest of the world (such as Mercury's Music/LesleyGore and Fontana's Music/ThePrettyThings) appeared on Philips in that country. Music/TheRamones and Music/TalkingHeads were part of a licensing deal with Creator/SireRecords, which was distributed by Phonogram in Europe until they switched to [[Creator/WarnerMusicGroup WEA]] in 1978.
