The Emerald story is convoluted and is closely associated with it's founder, Belfast
promotor Mervyn Solomon. It was launched circa 1962.
Emerald had bases in Belfast and Dublin and operated in London during the 1960s.
It was distributed by Vogue Records UK. Its releases bore the MLD/SLD prefix.
Emerald Gem had the same base in Belfast and was
distributed in London by Vogue records.
Emerald Gem largely specialized in showbands, but also released a
number of traditional and folk items, as well as plenty of MoR
material and Loyalist albums. Its releases bore the GEM/GEM prefixes.
Decca bought out Emerald and Vogue.
The standout releases for readers of this webpage will probably be those of
The Coterie and Rory Gallagher, but some of the showband releases may
contain interesting material.
