EMI broke the language barrier long ago. Today EMI’s global record marketing network comprises manufacturing and distribution centres in 30 countries, licencee arrangements in some 20 more. The important market in France, for example, has for many years been dominated by Pathe-Marconi, one of the oldest-established of all the EMI companies. (It was founded well before the turn of the century by the brothers Charles and Emile Pathe - in a bistro just off the Place Pigalle as a matter of fact.) EMI knows the world record market like nobody else. That’s why - if you’re one of the record people - you need EMI.
