Title: Universal music group has joined the party
Post by: ROGUE on December 09, 2007, 17:05:09
Noticed while popping in at the 'official site', that the logo's at the bottom had changed.

From Suretone, Geffen.   And now also Universal Music Group.

Iam glad Universal are in,  But wondering if there are any other thoughts on this matter ?   :smth020

Enjoy  :rocker

(we'll see, iam never sure about creating topics  :oops: )

Universal was always there, as Geffen Records is just one of the many labels owned by this big company (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Music_Group). I guess they just put the logo to let notice the connection between both Geffen and Universal.

each company has shares in others.. for safeguard.. Each as money-hungry as the next, with royalties being directed away from the artists..
Global Monopoly.. hence the anti-establishment protests at each of the summits...
Let's hope that Bob and The Band make a break from the control of the Establishment and take control of their own future..

I agree - should have stayed with Fiction, things seemed a lot "simpler" then - but I didn't think they had a choice in the end?  Didn't Chris Parry sell Fiction?  I seem to remember there was a whole lot of legal wrangling at the time as Parry also sold the rights to their songs?  :?
