Please note, many Apple Records issues also carry an EMI logo. This is not a label and EMI should not be added as a label, it instead indicates that Apple was part of the EMI Group. the company owned by the The Beatles launched its record label division early in 1968. Through a complicated series of deals, the Beatles licensed its records from EMI (in USA by EMI's subsidiary Capitol Records until 1976), which then handled distribution on Apple's behalf. This arrangement has, more or less, continued to the present. via Discogs →
