Subject: RE: Why Studio Recordings at BBC?

Message Detail:
Jim wrote: This if I remember rightly, was a Musicians Union stipulation. However, as long as they paid musicians to record their hits live in studio, they could play as much pop music as they liked.

Is that sort of like radio, in the US, where record companies initially frowned at sending promotional material to radio stations, in fear it would cause a lesser amount of record sales?

I still hear, I guess the BBC, is under attack by current recording artists, who wish to push the limit in music (what should/shouldn't be aired), to gain fame. Even this Lady Gaga is said to do this. Spare me the greatness!

Thanks, Jim!!!

Best,
John
