monkboughtlunch Posted June 23, 2009 Report Posted June 23, 2009 (edited) Anyone know if EMI is having financial difficulties due to the recession (and ipods/file sharing)? Any new jazz EMI CD reissues on the horizon? Seems like things have dried up from them. Edited June 23, 2009 by monkboughtlunch Quote
BruceH Posted June 23, 2009 Report Posted June 23, 2009 I seem to remember hearing that they closed down. Quote
BruceH Posted June 23, 2009 Report Posted June 23, 2009 No, it turns out that they were bought by Terra Firma Capitol Partners in 2007....but that kind of comes to the same thing. Quote
