HMV was born from the Gramophone Company, which in 1899 bought Francis Barraud's painting of a dog named Nipper listening to a phonograph, titled "His Master's Voice". In 1909 it turned this image into its record label.
In 1921 it opened its first shop in London and in 1931 merged with Columbia to create EMI, keeping HMV as the classic label. Between the 1930s and 1950s it was the largest manufacturer of gramophones and radiograms in the United Kingdom, with the famous portable model 102.
In the 1950s it also entered pop, releasing Elvis in the UK. In 1973 it became a sub-label of EMI and in 1993 ended as a record label, with Morrissey's last record. Since 1998 HMV exists only as a chain of stores.
