EMI

EMI was the label of UK company EMI Records Ltd., also known as EMI Records.
After a hiatus, EMI was relaunched as a label by Universal Music Group in 2020, replacing Virgin EMI Records.
Label Code: LC 0542 / LC 00542.
EMI did not exist as a label until late January 1973 (the exception being a few Indian releases around 1969). See the example image of one of their own introductory advertisements. It should not be added as a label to any release before that date, aside from those Indian releases. Furthermore it should not be added as a label on any release with a primary branded label such as His Master's Voice, Columbia, Pathé, Parlophone, Capitol Records, etc., as the (usually) boxed EMI logo that appears with the primary label simply implies that the label formed part of the EMI Group (please do not confuse with ), not that EMI was a label. In these cases, it is permitted to add EMI as a Record Company (discussion / more discussion) as it was the corporate logo of the parent companies / (EMI) and was not intended as a label.

Please note the seated Angel logo with the standard EMI classical red company logo above it as often seen in the 1980s, is the logo of Angel Records not
