 | | As the head of EMI's prestigious Columbia label, and as a top staff producer, he had the confidence of the company's management and the biggest budgets, and the highest visibility of any music producer in England from the end of the 1940's until the beginning of the 1960's. |
 | | He distinguished himself sufficiently to attract the attention of EMI's management, and was hired by that company in 1949 to become head of Artists and Repertory for the crown jewel of its operation, the British Columbia label. |
 | | Newell proved so prodigious a talent that, in 1952, he exited EMI to move to America, intent on pursuing his career as a composer, but he was enticed back to the record company, where he went back to work for both the British Columbia and HMV labels. |
