EMI is to relaunch its Zonophone label. Zonophone is a very old record label indeed, though it has been through a number of incarnations over the years, including long periods of being defunct. The all new Zonophone will release cult, hard-to-find and previously unreleased material from across EMI's catalogue, which sounds kind of cool. The new imprint plans to issue "a hidden gem or two" each month, sometimes as a physical CD, sometimes as download-only releases. The first release will be a punk compilation called 'Happening, Alive and Nasty' on 15 Jan, with 'The Best Of Bobbie Gentry: The Capitol Years' following on 1 Feb.
