 | TopPopper Member since Mar 2013 2612 Points | I'm not so sure. I think they might be the same. The 'classic' Embassy label with its soundalike singles seems to have endured through the 70s as a budget LP brand. The label design is different but I think it's basiaclly a continuation of the same label. |

| Pridesale Member since Mar 2013 805 Points | I suppose keeping rights going stops someone else using the name. |

| TheJudge In-house specialist in drive-by moddings. Member since Dec 2012 3715 Points Moderator | I think TP is right - I remember seeing the odd LP in the early/mid 70s on the label, usually in the sorts of places you'd expect to find such releases, like a gift shop in Barmouth for example. Embassy was owned by Oriole, who were taken over by CBS. To quote Wp: " from 1970 through to 1980, CBS Records revived the Embassy imprint to release budget versions of albums in the UK and Europe by artists that were signed to its parent company, Columbia Records."/ |

| Pridesale Member since Mar 2013 805 Points | Ahh, but on 45cat the sole EMB prefixed Embassy is down as Embassy (2) http://www.45cat.com/record/embsp002 |

| TopPopper Member since Mar 2013 2612 Points | That's a completely different label. Just coincidence that they use the EMB prefix. |
