When did Barcodes first appear on vinyl sleeves, and when, in particular, on EMI sleeves?

From the evidence available on 45worlds, I would suggest barcodes began appearing on EMI releases towards the latter end of 1983. The latest EMI release I can find without a barcode is Macca's Pipes Of Peace, released in October 1983. This Ashford & Simpson album is dated September 83 and there is this Beach Boys compilation from July 83, but the black labels suggest it may be a later re-pressing.

Re: label colours, the EMI label appear to have switched from using the cream (vanilla/magnolia?!?) to black labels in around March 1984 (judging by single releases). I wonder if there is any possible correlation with Fame's label colour?
