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 EMI. From 1996 until September 2012 the ultimate parent company / owner of all the EMI labels and companies was EMI Group Ltd. (.) 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, but beware of instances where packaging bearing the original catalogue number was carried over unchanged in other countries, such as on [r=24868325] or [r=15042321]. Please enter this catalogue number against whichever label is branded on the release. (C = Country, E = Europe, M = ) OC = UK (from April 1973) 0C = UK (from April 1973) 1A = Netherlands 1C = Germany 1M = Germany (for ) 1E = UK (until April 1973) 1J = Spain (1969-1977) 2C = France 2M = France (for ) 2S = France (for ) 2E = Austria 2J = Greece (until 1977) 3C = Italy 3E = Switzerland 4B = Belgium (for releases) 4C = Belgium 4M = Belgium (for ) 4E = Sweden 5C = Netherlands 5D = Netherlands (for and releases) 5N = Netherlands (for releases) 5E = Finland (until 1976) 6C = Denmark 6E = Denmark 7C = Sweden 7E = Norway 8C = Norway 8E = Portugal (until mid-1979) 9C = Finland (from 1976) 10C = Spain (from 1977) 11C = Portugal (from mid-1979) 12C = Austria 13C = Switzerland 14C = Greece (from 1977) 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.
