You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Regal Zonophone Records''' was a British [[record label]] formed in 1932, through a merger of the [[Regal Recordings|Regal]] and [[Zonophone Records|Zonophone]] labels. This followed the merger of those labels' respective parent companies – the [[Columbia Graphophone Company]] and the [[Gramophone Company]] – to form [[EMI]]. At the merger, those records from the Regal Records catalogue were prefixed 'MR' and those from the Zonophone Records catalogue were prefixed 'T'.<ref>[http://www.78rpmcommunity.com/documents/201/36/first-regal-zonophone-supplement ] ((webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140619163256/http://www.78rpmcommunity.com/documents/201/36/first-regal-zonophone-supplement |date=19 June 2014 ))</ref> Record releases after the merger continued using only the 'MR' prefix.<ref name="BadAnd">Arthur Badrock and Frank Andrews: ''Regal Records 1914 to 1932'' 2nd Edition published June 2009 by The City of London Phonographic and Gramophone Society.</ref>

Originally Regal Zonophone handled American releases from [[Okeh Records]], [[Victor Records]] and [[Columbia Records]], as well as offering home-grown recordings by artists such as [[Gracie Fields]]<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.45worlds.com/78rpm/artist/gracie-fields |title=Gracie Fields 78 RPM - Discography - UK - 78 RPM World |publisher=45worlds.com |access-date=23 August 2014))</ref> and [[George Formby, Jr.|George Formby]].<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.georgeformby.co.uk/records/rec7.html |title=The George Formby Discography |publisher=Georgeformby.co.uk |access-date=23 August 2014))</ref> The label is also known for its releases of [[Salvation Army]] (particularly brass band) music.<ref>((cite web|url=http://45-sleeves.com/UK/regalzonophone/rega-uk.htm |title=Regal-Zonophone Records UK |publisher=45-sleeves.com |access-date=23 August 2014))</ref><ref>((cite web|url=http://www.salvationarmy.org.au/en/Who-We-Are/music/ |title=Music in The Salvation Army |publisher=Salvationarmy.org.au |access-date=23 August 2014))</ref><ref>((cite web|url=http://www.salvoaudio.com/bands/regal_records1.htm |title=Salvation Army Recordings Regal 32-57 volume 1 |publisher=Salvo Audio |access-date=23 August 2014))</ref>

In the 1950s the [[Australia]]n division of Regal Zonophone played an important role in the emerging Australian [[country music]] genre, signing several emerging country stars including [[Slim Dusty]], [[Smoky Dawson]], [[Reg Lindsay]] and [[Chad Morgan]]. Slim Dusty's 1957 Regal Zonophone hit "[[A Pub with No Beer]]"<ref>((cite web|author=Greg Adams |url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/regal-zonophone-collection-mw0001229762 |title=Regal Zonophone Collection - Slim Dusty &#124; Songs, Reviews, Credits, Awards |publisher=AllMusic |access-date=23 August 2014))</ref><ref>((cite web|url=http://www.discogs.com/Slim-Dusty-With-Dick-Carr-And-His-Bushlanders-A-Pub-With-No-Beer/release/1667152 |title=Slim Dusty With Dick Carr And His Bushlanders - A Pub With No Beer (Vinyl) at Discogs |publisher=Discogs.com |access-date=23 August 2014))</ref> became the biggest-selling Australian recording ever released up to that time.

EMI revived the Regal Zonophone imprint in 1967 to handle the Essex Music/Straight Ahead producing account that had moved from [[Deram Records|Deram]] (after one [[Procol Harum]] single and two singles by [[The Move]]) and continued well into the early 1970s, with successful producers [[Denny Cordell]] and [[Tony Visconti]] both having production companies releasing records through the label. During this period the label had both album and single success with artists such as The Move,<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/21923-Move-The |title=Move, The Discography at Discogs |publisher=Discogs.com |access-date=23 August 2014))</ref> Procol Harum,<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.procolharum.com/regal-zonophone-reviews.htm |title=The Regal Zonophone albums reviewed by John Alroy, online |publisher=Procolharum.com |access-date=23 August 2014))</ref> [[Joe Cocker]],<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.discogs.com/Joe-Cocker-Joe-Cocker/release/1972432 |title=Joe Cocker - Joe Cocker!

Many of the label's artists moved to [[Fly Records]] or to the [[EMI]] imprint.

Regal Zonophone was revived by EMI in 1985-86 for [[Frank Sidebottom]], and again at the end of the 1990s as a reissue label curated by the UK band [[Saint Etienne (band)|Saint Etienne]]. This incarnation of the label is no longer active, as EMI relaunched [[Regal Recordings|Regal]] and [[Zonophone#2007|Zonophone]] as separate imprints of [[Parlophone]]. In 2013, both Regal and Zonophone were taken over by [[Warner Music Group]] after [[Universal Music Group]] spun off Parlophone from EMI, at the request of international regulators.

However, the Australian and New Zealand Regal Zonophone catalogues, including recordings by Slim Dusty, were ceded to [[Universal Music Australia]]'s imprint [[EMI Music Australia|EMI Recorded Music]] and [[Universal Music New Zealand]] respectively.<ref>((cite news |title=Universal Absorbs EMI And Then There Were Three |url=http://www.noise11.com/news/universal-absorbs-emi-and-then-there-were-three-20130131 |date=31 January 2013))</ref><ref>((cite news |title=Universal's EMI Deal Approved By New Zealand Regulators |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/universals-emi-deal-approved-by-new-zealand-regulators-1092960/ |work=Billboard |date=21 June 2012))</ref>
