EMI America Records

EMI America Records

EMI America Records was started in 1978 by EMI as a second US label next to Capitol Records. It absorbed Liberty Records in 1984. EMI America was closed in the late eighties in a consolidation with Manhattan Records to form EMI Manhattan Records, which later became known simply as EMI in 1990, then part of EMI Records Group North America (ERG) in 1992. Currently, this organization of labels is under EMI's Capitol Music Group.

On YouTube, a video channel with the EMI America name has been launched, though it contains videos from various labels in the US-signed EMI family.
