The label was noted for classical albums made in then state-of-the-art stereophonic sound, and such artists as Georg Solti, Joan Sutherland, and Luciano Pavarotti.Phase 4 recordings were originally made on then-novel 4-track tape, but the innovation was in the special scoring used to maximize the technology.Similar scoring techniques were used with sound pioneer Enoch Light and his Project 3 Records label around the same period.This changed the label in the eyes of many from a backwater into something a little more "edgy" compared to the pedestrian contemporary releases from parent company Decca.The label was staffed by Graham Baker, Keith Gooden, Mike Horsham and Liz Roff at that time.The label has reissued many classics by acts such as Bronski Beat, Bananarama, Orbital, Goldie and Happy Mondays.There is now a new frontline arm of the label called 'Because London Records' releasing artists such as Alewya, Joalin and Busy Twist.
