From what I understand, Pye wanted to diversify from radios and TV sets and produce records that they could offer the customers of their appliances.
To do this they bought the then independent Nixa Records i 1953. Two years later they bought Polygon mainly to get Pet Clark's contact ...her records, along with Joe Henderson's, immediately turned up the same year on Pye-Nixa so the label wasnt used very long at all.
The Jazz Today masters on Polygon were reissued on the black Pye labels so you get the feeling that there wasnt much interest in keeping Polygon alive at all
