EMI

Until 2012 when the company was broken up, EMI was a major player in Australia. It is probably the longest surviving name in the recording industry.

EMI has a long and complicated history, but EMI’s Australian division can be traced back to 1925 with the commencement of pressing operations by the The Gramophone Company in the Sydney suburb of Erskinville. A purpose built factory was established in 1927 at Homebush and the manufacture of EMI records remained there for some 60 years.

Currently (2013) EMI’s catalogue is owned by two companies. Universal own the mechanical rights – the right to physically make and sell the recordings, while Sony/ATV Music Publishing owns the publishing rights.
