The record label of David Enthoven and John Gaydon's EG Management, though by the time the label appeared both Enthoven and Gaydon had left the company. In 1978, after a decade or so a management agency, EG started issuing records on its own label. Bands such as King Crimson and Roxy Music, which were under contract to EG, moved to the new label, which, understandably, flourished. Most of EG's history, on vinyl at least, lies beyond the '70s; as far as that decade is concerned, EG singles had rather plain injection-moulded labels, betraying their Polydor / Polygram associations. Both EG and Polydor logos appeared on the label, but on occasions they were so small as to be scarcely visible, as in the second scan above. Singles shared POSP-0 and 2001-000 series with Polydor's own singles. Singles by EG artists had appeared on a label similar to the first one shown above from late 1977, but while it had the four short stripes and the Polydor logo it lacked the EG logo; so I have treated those records as Polydor releases. The EG logo appeared on records from February 1978 onwards, and it is those which I have counted as being on the EG label, though (reasonably) they can be found elsewhere listed as being on 'EG / Polydor' or 'Polydor / EG'. The 1970s issues are listed below.
