message: We should verify what specific EMI labels are being sold by UMG.  We all know that Parlophone is one of them.  But we need verifiable citations for other labels.  I can't believe Liberty Records is being divested as the American catalogue is firmly in the hands of Capitol Records. Steelbeard1 (talk) 03:56, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

message: Why is the Columbia label being re-written this way here. The label was called Columbia outside the USA and was owned by EMI. America-centric and absolutely inaccurate revisionism.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.62.188.63 (talk) 09:51, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Uh...  Where? EMI's Columbia label's article is Columbia Graphophone Company.  The default Columbia Records is the one owned by Sony Music Entertainment world wide except in Japan where Nippon Columbia has the rights to the Columbia Records name.  Can't you read the hatnotes on top of the Columbia Records article?  Steelbeard1 (talk) 14:50, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

text: No, YOU are missing the point.  The Columbia Phonograph Company, based in the USA, had subsidiaries around the world.  The UK unit was called Columbia Graphophone Company which was sold by the American company in 1922 which is why the founding year for Columbia UK was set at 1922.  It merged with the Gramophone Company (His Master's Voice) in 1931 to form EMI with the labels maintaining their identities.  The Columbia UK article is called Columbia Graphophone Company to avoid confusion with the American Columbia Records.  Remember the hatnote on top of the Columbia Records article which you chose to ignore?  EMI eventually sold the rights to the Columbia name and trade marks to Sony Music Entertainment allowing the revival of the Columbia label to replace the CBS label.  As the hatnote states, Columbia is a global record company operating around the world except in Japan where, AS I ALREADY STATED, Nippon Columbia owns the rights to the Columbia Records name and trade marks. And one more thing.  If you look at the EMI Columbia sleeve at  on the lower left corner, you will see that below the trade mark are the words TRADE MARK OF COLUMBIA GRAPHOPHONE COMPANY LTD.  So the Columbia Graphophone Company was still a legal entity and subsidiary of EMI into the 1960s. Steelbeard1 (talk) 12:57, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
