This is a Yahoo! site dedicated to the memory of Pye Records and its associated labels like Pye International, Pye Jazz, Marble Arch, BBC, Satril, Picadilly etc.

Pye was started in the UK in 1955 and bought the Nixa label and eventually became one of the most influential and popular labels to be on during the 60's and 70's, known chiefly for its more middle-of-the-road and comedy records as well as the launching ground for British rock greats like The Kinks, Status Quo and David Bowie.

In the 1980's, the Pye label was discontinued and was re-named PRT which lasted until 1988 until its back catalogue was bought by Castle Communications and eventually Sanctuary Music Group, and is now in limbo following Sanctuary's recent closure by Universal Music.

Here is a place to discuss your favourite records on this label, as well as buy, sell, swap and share.

Please keep posts civil and keep profanity to a minimum.
