Current Hierarchy

It seems we may need a 4 or more layer hierarchy to describe EMI properly:

  1. Group
    1. Division
      1. Subsidiary
        1. Label


So, we need to create at Discogs:

  1. EMI Group plc (this is a group)
    1. EMI Music (this is a division)
      1. Capitol-EMI Music, Inc. (USA) (this is a subsidiary)
      2. Capitol Records, Inc. (USA) (this is a subsidiary)
      3. Chrysalis Records Ltd (this is a subsidiary)
      4. EMI Music Germany GmbH & Co. KG [1] (this is a subsidiary)
      5. EMI Entertainment World, Inc. (this is a subsidiary)
      6. EMI Music Australia Pty Ltd [2] (this is a subsidiary)
      7. EMI Music France S.A. [3] (this is a subsidiary)
      8. EMI Music Italy SpA [4] (this is a subsidiary)
      9. EMI Records Ltd (this is a subsidiary)
        1. ...
        2. Capitol Nashville (this is a label, but is it a label of the EMI Records Ltd subsidiary?)
        3. EMI (this is a label, but is it a label of the EMI Records Ltd subsidiary?)
        4. EMI Classics (this is a label, but is it a label of the EMI Records Ltd subsidiary?)
        5. EMI CMG (this is a label, but is it a label of the EMI Records Ltd subsidiary?)
        6. etc..
      10. etc.
    2. EMI Music Publishing (This is a division. Does this need to be in the database?)
      1. EMI Music Publishing Ltd (this is a subsidiary, or a division? The anual report seems to list it as both)
      2.  ?

Quotes from websites

EMI (label):

In 1972, EMI replaced the Columbia and HMV pop music labels with the EMI record label.

In 1972 EMI moved most of its mainstream acts to it's own newly created label. The Harvest label continued until the end of the seventies but Parlophone, Columbia and HMV acts all moved here.
http://www.my-generation.org.uk/EMI.htm

Interesting, in discogs is really a gap between 1971 and 1977 on the Parlophone page.


EMI (company):

The Electric and Musical Industries Ltd formed in March 1931 from a merger of the Columbia Graphophone Company Ltd and the Gramophone Company Ltd.

Note: IMO Electric and Musical Industries Ltd was a holding company and both companies were subsidiaries. The name Columbia Graphophone Company Ltd was still printed on releases in the 60s:
http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?what=R&obid=467862

Electric & Musical Industries Ltd changed its name to EMI Ltd in 1971 and the subsidiary Gramophone Company Ltd became EMI Records Ltd in 1973.

In October 1979 THORN Electrical Industries Ltd. merged with EMI Ltd. to form Thorn EMI Ltd..

On August 16, 1996, Thorn EMI shareholders voted in favour of demerger proposals. The resulting media company has since been known by the name EMI Group PLC.
