Polydor

Once a major European label, Polydor has long since disappeared. Original vinyl releases are listed below.

The Dublin pressing plant that Polydor used burnt down in 1982 and many master tapes were lost to the flames. A rumour has it that the owner of Ireland’s only other pressing plant, a politician of dubious integrity (now dead), had ordered an arson attack on his competitor’s premises, but I could not possibly comment on the validity of such a scurrilous allegation.
