EMI Music Australia
EMI Recorded Music Australia is an Australian imprint of Universal Music Australia. Formerly a subsidiary label of EMI, it was acquired by Universal Music Group via Universal Music Australia in Australia.
Between 1979 and 1996, EMI Music Australia was a subsidiary of Thorn EMI.
It was one of Australia's largest major labels overall until the Universal acquisition in 2012.
Corporate headquarters are located in Sydney, Australia.
EMI Music Australia has its origins as the local branch of The Gramophone Company in 1925. Together with other labels taken over by RCA Corporation, it became EMI in 1931; in Australia, the local branch was known as The Gramophone Co. (Australia).
From inception, the label used the His Master's Voice trademark, and this continued until the 1970s–1980s. The His Master's Voice trademark had appeared in Australia since the 1910s, as it was seen on British imports from the Gramophone Company (the precursor to EMI).
According to Australian music commentator Duncan Kimball, "the vast majority of jazz and dance records released here between the two world wars were by British artists and orchestras." In 1949 the branch was incorporated as EMI (Australia) Pty Ltd and was headquartered in Sydney as a wholly owned subsidiary of United Kingdom's EMI. Due to its house labels, it dominated the Australian market from the mid-1920s to the early 1960s.
By October 1951, EMI Australia's catalogue held over 10,000 titles; the figure comprised 80% of recorded music in the country. In January 1952, EMI announced they were recording major works by Sydney Symphony Orchestra.
