Hi Indy

I'd like to suggest that whilst the Beatles launched Apple and certainly will always be associated with it, and in America Capitol was indeed their label, in the UK, (Europe I suspect) and certainly Australia and New Zealand, they were best known as a

'Parlophone' label band......(with the big ₤ sign on the label)

# 8 - Bee Gees - RSO (Robert Stigwood Organisation)

# 14 - The Who - Polydor

# 22 - Pink Floyd - EMI
