Subject: RE: Royalties

Message Detail:
Jim added: It is not cheaper to publish US songs in the UK (the rates are standardised) - but it may well be cheaper (depending on the deal) to release US recordings in the UK as the record label rights are often negotiable.

Hmm?? Okay!! I was also told, record companies abroad didn't have to pay royalties to the US artists. So many different stories! So, it must be a complex situation wherever you are!

Saturday Night Live (comical US night show) was sued for using (4) four note of a song, I think, in their opening. Unreal!!! Found that amazing!

Jim, I forget the exact sequence of letters, MFPS, often found on imported music material. I once thought it was a sign of a cheap CD (remakes and such), since I saw many of the labels I don't prefer to purchase, putting those letters in clear view, on the CD. I assume that's the governing body abroad for copyrighted music material?

Website:
I wrote both Goldmine Magazine (music collectors tabloid) and Stereophile Magazine (audio gear and some music), see if the wanted to review it. I'm trying to get some interesting Levi Stubbs material (botched up hit recording(s)). May have to dip into the old wallet to gain it!

Thanks, Jim! Once I become rich and famous, like Bob, I'll get you out of that Edsel! :-))))

Best,
John
