"E.M.I." is a song on the Sex Pistols' 1977 debut album, Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols. It was written after the group's contract with record label EMI had been terminated on 6 January 1977 after only three months, following the publicity storm caused by their appearance on the Today programme in December 1976. The song, often called a diss track, mocks the label for wanting to cash in on the growing punk phenomenon and sign the band, only to drop them when the group's antics damaged the label's reputation. The song was first recorded the same month at Gooseberry Studios, in Glen Matlock's last recording session with the band before he was fired, but the version that appears on the album was a re-recording made two months later at Wessex Studios. It was first played live

  • E.M.I. ist ein Song vom Debütalbum Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols der Sex Pistols aus dem Jahr 1977. Leslie Hill, die Geschäftsführerin von EMI, hatte am 8. Oktober 1976 einen Vertrag mit ihnen unterschrieben. Nachdem dieser am 6. Januar 1977 nach nur drei Monaten gekündigt worden war, entstand der Song. Der Grund war der „Grundy-Vorfall“ bei ihrem Auftritt in der Today-Sendung im Dezember. Der Song, der oft als Spottlied bezeichnet wird, macht sich über das Label lustig. Es wollte zwar am wachsenden Punk-Phänomen verdienen, ließ die Band jedoch schon nach drei Monaten (6. Januar 1977) fallen, aus Angst, dass sie dem Ruf des Labels schaden könnte. Der Song wurde in Glen Matlocks letzter Aufnahmesession mit der Band in den Gooseberry Studios aufgenommen. Die Version auf dem Album war jedoch eine Neuaufnahme, die zwei Monate später in den Wessex Studios mit Produzent Chris Thomas und Toningenieur Bill Price entstand. Zum ersten Mal bei einem Konzert wurde es am 21. März 1977 in der Notre Dame Hall in London gespielt. Der Leadsänger der Sex Pistols, Johnny Rotten, beschrieb E.M.I. in seiner 1994 erschienenen Autobiografie Rotten: No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs als „einer meiner Faves“. 2017 sagte er dem Musikmagazin Rolling Stone: „EMI wollte uns unterschreiben lassen, um zu zeigen, was für ein großartiges, abwechslungsreiches Label sie waren, aber sie waren es wirklich nicht. Es hat Spaß gemacht dieses Lied zu schreiben. Es wurde eigentlich zum großen Teil im Studio gemacht, weil dort der Groove da war, und es war unerbittlich.“ (de)

It was first played live at Notre Dame Hall, London, on 21 March 1977. Paste called the song "the group's middle finger salute aimed at the record industry and label that fired them out of fear of their lyric content". The Sex Pistols' lead singer Johnny Rotten described "E.M.I." as "one of my faves" in his 1994 autobiography Rotten: No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs and in 2017 he told Rolling Stone, "EMI wanted to sign us to show what a grand, varied label they were, but they really were not. This song was fun to write. It was actually mostly done in the studio because the groove was there, and it was relentless." The Independent has described the song as ranking "alongside Graham Parker's "Mercury Poisoning" as the most gleeful rant at a record company ever recorded." (en)

De tekst van het nummer hekelt en bespot het platenlabel, omdat het wilde profiteren van de opkomende punkstroming en daarom de band contracteerde, om ze vervolgens bij nader inzien toch te laten vallen. Het paste ook in het anti-commerciële imago van de punkbeweging en de band. (nl)
