Now that would make for a GREAT box set...
Maybe under this next onslaught... It would be a wonderful excuse to release this material

Anybody else remember this bit of news?
No I'd rather keep it for me and mine, but I see your point.MOJO wrote:I'd rather give all my money to E.C. and his family (new kid!!!) than to some smuck at Universal. Wouldn't you?
I doubt that he's sold the digital rights, he's probably just leasing them out the same as he does with the physical media.You can all go back to discussing about the wonderful new reissues, but I'm stuck on the fact that Universal has control of his digital rights. That is scary.
I think these two paragraphs are a bit contradictory. If EC were to "do this on his own" (which would mean owning and operating a small business), wouldn't that be far more time-consuming than "mincing over legal terms in a contract"?MOJO wrote:Take note of UM building a direct channel to the "consumer"/listener... E.C. could do this own his own. Buy a short code, build a WAP site, and allow subscribers to stream and listen to exclusive music... No problem.
As for E.C. cutting his own deals, I would hope his time is spent on creating and crafting new music rather than mincing over legal terms in a contract.

If the clause for UM's digital rights is more than 5 years, E.C. was ripped off.
peace, love and understanding,
your pal, MOJO
andBill Levenson is working with Elvis on a series of "thematic" comps. Rock and Roll Music might be the first of these.
If it all comes together as planned, the deluxe reissue of My Aim Is True should be really special.
My guess is that - with the exception of the 30th anniversary reissue of My Aim Is True - all the other albums will be just the original albums (with no bonustracks). More important will problably be that these albums become digitally available at last.BlueChair wrote:It still seems rather odd to me that just as Rhino was getting finished on their reissue campaign (which seems pretty darned definitive to me!), Hip-O is now going to set out on their own.
At least this means in another few years EC can complain about how another label "let him down" after raving about the great job they were going to do with his catalog.BlueChair wrote:It still seems rather odd to me that just as Rhino was getting finished on their reissue campaign (which seems pretty darned definitive to me!), Hip-O is now going to set out on their own.

I think EC must like that song, wasn't it on Girls, Girls Girls too?wardo68 wrote:why is "Lovers Walk" on that album?
