Disques Vogue

For the American record label, see Vogue Records.

Disques Vogue was a record company founded in France by Léon Cabat and Charles Delaunay[1] in 1947, the year after the American Vogue label ceased. They originally specialized in jazz recordings, featuring such American performers as Sidney Bechet, Dizzy Gillespie, and Gigi Gryce (sessions reissued on CD under Clifford Brown's name), as well as local musicians such as Django Reinhardt and Martial Solal. In the late 1950s Vogue expanded into pop music, recording artists such as Petula Clark. In the 1960s and early 1970s the label boasted Jacques Dutronc and Françoise Hardy. They later licensed recordings by ABBA for release in Belgium and France.

A British offshoot, Vogue Records, was founded in 1951 and absorbed by English Decca (then separate from the American company) around 1956, but the rights to the name reverted to the French parent in 1962. A new Disques Vogue sister label was established in Britain as part of the Pye Group.[1] The label's catalogue is now part of Sony Music.
