Electric and Music Industries Ltd (EMI) first saw the light of day
in the UK in 1931. In a visionary move for the gramophone age, it
manufactured both hardware (recording and playback equipment) and
software (the records and tapes its machines would play). For over
half a century, EMI dominated both sectors, it's music division
eventually becoming the most successful in the world with a roster
that at various times included The Beatles, Maria Callas, Frank
Sinatra, Cliff Richard, Pink Floyd, The Beach Boys, Queen, Robbie
Williams, The Spice Girls, Kate Bush and Kylie Minogue. Then in the
1990s, things started to go wrong - This is the continuing saga of
Britain's greatest music company as it faces an uncertain future
under new ownership. Since 2009 EMI has broken new acts and sold
millions of records BUT the massive debts incurred by its owners
Terra Firma have finally taken it to the brink of a break-up. Music
industry experts and executives, financiers and commentators plus
artists' managers assess EMI's fortunes as the company celebrates
its 80th birthday. Includes interviews with many key players
including former EMI Group/EMI Music executives Sir Colin
Southgate, Jim Fifield, Eric Nicoli, Tony Wadsworth, David Munns,
Rupert Perry, Ray Cooper and Jon Webster. He has also interviewed
many managers, music journalists, financial analysists and rival
record company executives.
