EMI Masterworks

EMI Masterworks is an American record label that is a division of EMI Music.

Formed in 2002 after News Corp's acquisition of EMI, Masterworks originally handled the archives of EMI-owned labels, including Capitol Records, EMI Records, Epic Records, Blue Note Label Group, and Virgin Music Group. It merged with Interscope's IAR Records in 2006, expanding to include the archives of Interscope Geffen A&M Records and Caroline Distribution.

In 2007, after the sale of Capitol Records to Universal Music Group, it signed a licensing deal with PolyGram Entertainment and BMG to reissue their catalogues under the Masterworks banner.

In 2009, Masterworks began its "The Best of" series of reissues. It is also responsible for re-releases of albums from EMI's catalogues.
