EMI purchased Odeon in the 60's, and the label Emi Odeon started. Still most records have just Odeon as a label name. The Emi Odeon Logo is printed on the front sleeve (hard to miss), and have mostly the PMES cat., Yes i request to change all Odeon to EMI Odeon.

EMI added their logo to all the releases on labels that they owned (Columbia, Parlophone, HMV, Capitol, etc) and the intent was only to indicate that the label was part of the EMI group, not that EMI was part of the label name; EMI as a label only came into being in 1973 (initially with the circular logo on the sleeves, but eventually replaced by the bar logo), and EMI should only be entered as a label if it appears on its own, and not combined with any other logo.

A few curious things about Odeon was its usage in the USA.

It was used as a label for the distribution of records for the Hispanic community,, This LP from 1983 was not distributed by Capitol/ EMI but rather T. H. Records in Florida. It does however carry a notice that Odeon is an EMI trademark

Even more curious though is that in 1986 Odeon in the USA seems to have gone to RCA/ Ariola!

The guideline don't have much to say about this subject, i really prefer EMI Odeon in this case, but i'm fine with just Odeon, Perhaps the moderators can add what they think is valid, in the guidelines.

No, Columbia purchased Odeon (via Lindstrom - Parlophone/Okeh etc) in the mid 1920s, and added many of them to their Parlophone label. So they became part of the Columbia/HMV merger to form EMI in the early 1930s.

To be exact, EMI was formed April 20, 1931, and yes, Columbia swallowed Odeon as early as 1926.(source)

EMI also used the Odeon name and logo for export of records to territories for which it did not have license to use the original label name, such as this Electrola-Germany LP.
