Parlophone also operates Regal, a contemporary revival of the historic Columbia Graphophone budget/reissue label founded in 1914, and the French urban music label Rec.118, founded in 2016.
Because Parlophone Records Ltd. absorbed the catalogues of EMI Records UK, Roulette Records, the Columbia Graphophone Company (EMI Columbia), His Master's Voice, non-U.S. former artists of Harvest Records and some European divisions of EMI Music (with new reissues bearing the Parlophone label), only artists whose recordings were originally issued by Parlophone are listed here, either during its time as a subsidiary of EMI (1931–2012) or as a Warner Music sub-label (2013–present).
