ΕΜΙΑΛ / EMIAL is a Greek record company, not a label on its own. The name is an acronym, it's a joint venture of EMI + Αδελφοί Λαμπρόπουλοι = ΕΜΙ + ΑΛ = ΕΜΙΑΛ (in English: EMIAL). It was established in mid 1969.

Some very early releases feature EMIAL only in Greek: either as ΕΜΙΑΛ (ΕΜΙ - ΑΔΕΛΦΟΙ ΛΑΜΠΡΟΠΟΥΛΟΙ Α.Ε.) or as ΕΜΙΑΛ (ΕΜΙ - ΑΦΟΙ ΛΑΜΠΡΟΠΟΥΛΟΙ), while on rare occasions it is listed only in English. However, in the majority of releases, until around 1976-77, the company name is bilingual, ΕΜΙΑΛ / EMIAL, with the respective full company name underneath: ΕΜΙ - ΑΦΟΙ ΛΑΜΠΡΟΠΟΥΛΟΙ / EMI-LAMBROPOULOS BROS. LTD. (variants: EMI Lambropoulos / EMI-Lambropoulos Bros. / LAMBROPOULOS BROTHERS LIMITED), either unboxed (in the early years) or boxed (in later years). These name variants also apply for ℗ & ©, Marketed By, Distributed By credits.

Phonographic Rights (℗) to ΕΜΙΑL appear also on post-1977 reissues of earlier material (that feature EMIAL S.A. as record company).
