Not an April Fools joke: EMI announced that they are closing the Uden plant in the Netherlands and the Illinois plant in the USA. Future North American CDs for EMI will be manufactured in Canada by Cineram (which bought WEA Manufacturing/Ivy Hill recently). There was no announcement regarding where EMI's European CDs will be manufactured, but it's likely they'll be outsourced to an independent manufacturer as well. DAMN YOU KIDS AND YOUR ILLEGAL MUSIC DOWNLOADING! Peace.
