Since records began : EMI, the first 100 years
This volume tells the story of how sound was transformed from the Washington D.C. laboratory experiments of Charles Summer Tainter and Emile Berliner over a century ago into the vast international entertainment industry of today. EMI is the company that signed the Beatles and it was in the forefront of the 1960s revolution in popular music. EMI's various labels now include acts as diverse as Garth Brooks, Pink Floyd, Tina Turner, Blur, and Roberto Alagna. Over the past 100 years, the company has owned or been connected with almost every record label in the world, including Columbia, RCA Victor, Liberty, Virgin, Angel, Imperial, MGM, Mercury and many others
