  1. Teldec - A pairing of Britain's long-established music label, 'The Decca Record Company' with Germany's 'Telefunken GmbH.

  2. Credit for the LaserDisc system should be 100% to MCA, 0% to Philips. The only part of the system Philips should be trusted with is the sleeves to hold the discs.

  3. Teldec is a combination of Germany's Telefunken Schallplatten GmbH and Britain's Decca Record Company Ltd. which allowed Teldec to issue records in Germany under the Decca, London, Deram, MAM and other Decca-owned labels, but Decca seemingly did not carry much Telefunken content in Britain, if anything.

  4. If EMI had owned both RCA and CBS, then a lot of time-wasting would've been spared and a lot of real estate would not be wasted on useless laboratories. EMI in Britain would manufacture the TV sets for the USA and Canadian markets in monochrome, Canadian market sets carrying the HMV brand and US market sets carrying the RCA brand. RCA in America would be restricted to maing only the radios and stereo gear. In 1968 EMI could then make colour sets based on the PAL system but modified to suit America's inferior power supply system that was foisted onto Canada by default. EMI could then use the AMPEX-developed videotape system to manufacture VTRs for America's and Canada's TV stations, built in Britain, of course, then pick up on the VHS cassette format when that was developed in Japan by Matsushita, EMI would build sets for the American and Canadian markets at its British factories. Laserdisc would be avoided as it has the stigma of being a Philips invention.

  5. The better result would be that in 1929, instead of RCA buying Victor Taliking Machine Co., that RCA AND Victor both end up as being owned by The Gramophone Co. of England. RCA would still not get its grubby paws on the HMV trademark as that trademark would return to the British aforementioned company that solely owns it. Instead, the RCA and the Victor trademarks would be owned by, and used in Britain by The Gramophone Co. as record labels carrying American artists into the British market. When The Gramophone Co. and Columbia Graphophone Co. merged to form EMI in 1938(1931 sounds far too early and Columbia Graphophone was relaunching the Columbia brand in America at the time), then the RCA and Victor brands would be kept separate and used as described earlier. In 1955 when EMI bought out the largest chunk of Capitol, the HMV brand would then return to the USA and Canada. CBS should then be bought by EMI so as to establish in the USA, the HMV and Columbia Brands as flagship labels of EMI North Americas Pty. Ltd., based *NOT in Hollywood California, but in Toronto, Ontario Canada as Canada is a British Commonwealth Country and EMI is a British company! With TV manufacture and marketing, EMI would make the sets for the American/Canadian markets at its British plants. The sets for Canada would be branded His Master'sVoice, the sets for the USA would be branded RCA, but the colour system would be a modified PAL system to accommodate America/Canada's 117 Volt/60 Hz power system. By EMI owning RCA and CBS, this would stop RCA falling into the hands of BMG and CBS into the hands of Sony.
