In 1950, a young musician named George Martin became Parlophone's assistant manager, then assumed control in 1955. He had limited success with performers like Adam Faith, The Vipers and the Temperance Seven, as well as RecordedAndStandUpComedy acts like Creator/PeterSellers (both as a solo artist and part of ''Radio/TheGoonShow''), Theatre/BeyondTheFringe and Music/FlandersAndSwann, but Parlophone's sales still lagged behind Columbia and HMV. Then, in 1962, Martin auditioned a young group from UsefulNotes/{{Liverpool}} who had already been rejected by several other labels, a band with the unusual name Music/TheBeatles. Martin liked what he heard, and Parlophone (and the world in general) was never the same.

As well, the label was noted for RecordedAndStandUpComedy acts like Creator/PeterSellers (both as a solo artist and part of ''Radio/TheGoonShow''), Theatre/BeyondTheFringe and Music/FlandersAndSwann, but Parlophone's Music/FlandersAndSwann. Still, prior to 1962 UK Parlophone was noted chiefly as a novelty-oriented label (even its successful pop acts had a novelty flavour about them), and sales still definitely lagged behind Columbia and HMV.

Parlophon (as its name was originally spelled) was founded in 1896 by Carl Lindström, a [[UsefulNotes/{{Sweden}} Swedish]] inventor living in UsefulNotes/{{Berlin}}. (The label's logo is a German "L" for Lindström, but is often mistaken for the British pound note symbol.) The company originally manufactured gramophones, but eventually switched over to making records. In 1923, the label started a British branch (which is when the "e" was added).

In 1931, Parlophone became part of the new Creator/{{EMI}} conglomerate, which put it under the same ownership as two larger labels, [[Creator/HisMastersVoiceRecords His Master's Voice]] and [[Creator/EMIColumbiaRecords the European offshoot]] of Creator/ColumbiaRecords.
