Unfortunately we do not accept unsolicited material and you may want to know why?



Unsolicited material refers to material that is sent by someone who has no relationship with anyone at a particular company. Occasionally, unknown writers, claiming that they have submitted songs, have sued publishers claiming those songs were "stolen" and given to other writers to work on. Secondly, there is so much material coming into our A&R department from reliable sources that it's difficult to listen to everything.

Therefore, it is the strict policy of EMI Music Publishing not to accept unsolicited tapes or other materials. Any such tapes or materials, if inadvertently opened by any EMI Music Publishing employee, will not be reviewed or copied. Any packages received before 1st July 2004 will be returned if they include a stamped addressed envelope.
