What the sources say about these ties
- EMI owns
- Purchased by Thorn EMI in 1992; after the 1996 demerger part of the EMI Group
Built from the ownership rows on the brand and company pages, each cited where it is recorded. Made in is the country of production on this product's record; the GS1 prefix of a barcode names the issuing organisation, not where the product was made.
About this product
Nothing Is Sound is the fifth studio album by the American alternative rock band Switchfoot, released in September 2005; it debuted at number three on the Billboard 200.[2] This barcode is the US CD issued on Sparrow Records, catalogue number SPD 11383, with the same 12 tracks produced by John Fields and Switchfoot as the Columbia edition.[3][4] Discogs credits Sparrow Records as marketer and EMI CMG Distribution as distributor, with copyright held by Sony BMG Music Entertainment.[4] Sparrow, a Christian music label founded in 1976, belonged to EMI from 1992.[5] The disc is copy protected: some EMI versions of the album carry Cactus Data Shield, which blocks playback on computers and some CD players.[3]
Wikipedia reports that some of the EMI discs were recalled because of incorrect copy protection settings and exchanged for correctly protected copies.[2]
