CEMA Special Markets

CEMA was a record label distribution branch and budget label of Capitol-EMI. CEMA Special Markets was the division which handled licensing of recordings by Capitol-EMI artists. They also distributed special jukebox 45rpm singles in conjunction with the Collectables record label (which were reissues) pairing 2 unique sides and often longer stereo recordings not available in record stores. See also CEMA Distribution.

The name CEMA stood for the four EMI-owned labels it originally distributed: Capitol Records, EMI Records, Manhattan Records and Angel Records (although several other labels such as Virgin, Chrysalis and Blue Note were later also distributed).

After a restructuring, CEMA was renamed EMI Music Distribution (EMD).
