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. Label Code: LC 0542 / LC 00542. EMI did not exist as a label until 1 January 1973 (the exception being a few Indian releases around 1969 and 60s Australian test-pressings related to EMI Studios Sydney). 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 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 EMI Group Plc), 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 Electric & Musical Industries Ltd. / EMI Ltd. (EMI) and was not intended as a label. From 1996 until September 2012 the ultimate parent company / owner of all the EMI labels and companies was EMI Group Ltd. (EMI Group Plc.) After that date Universal Music Group now owns large parts of the former EMI Group, with the former EMI Records Ltd. (which includes most EMI UK & Europe operations) being renamed as Parlophone Records Ltd. and being sold off to the Warner Music Group. EMI was a major label and had a lot of sub and sister labels which also carry the EMI logo and manage its huge amount of releases all over the world. The EMI country codes: In 1969 a new international system was introduced for EMI catalogue numbers. A five-digit prefix was added to the five-digit record number, separated by a hyphen. The first number and letter are a code for the country the record was made in or for. This usually corresponds with the country field on Discogs. Please enter this catalogue number against whichever label is branded on the release. (C = Country, E = Europe) OC = UK 0C = UK 1A = Netherlands 1C = Germany 1E = UK 1J = Spain 2C = France 2E = Austria 2J = Greece 3C = Italy 3E = Switzerland 4B = Belgium 4C = Belgium 4E = Sweden 5C = Netherlands 5E = Finland 6C = Denmark 6E = Denmark 7C = Sweden 7E = Norway 8C = Norway 8E = Portugal 9C = Finland 10C = Spain 11C = Portugal 12C = Austria 13C = Switzerland 14C = Greece 16C = Australia (unused on releases) 17C = New Zealand (unused on releases) 31C = Brazil 32C = Chile 33C = Mexico 82C = South Africa For unofficial releases which use the EMI-logo and/or claim to be an EMI-release please use this label: EMI (2)! Please ask in the forums if you are in doubt.
