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. 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.
