    In the UK, the Vanguard label was launched by Philips Records Ltd. in 1968 for classical recordings (all with catalogue numbers starting VSL11...)

    d with a double page spread in Gramophone, May 1968... "Into the lead with VANGUARD. Magnificent STEREO recordings only 27/11 each. Superlative packaging. Great artists. Music from five centuries. A completely new series."
