Not sure how long that could take. I did start a correspondence with Domino music, who now own Oval recordings and Lene Lovich in particular. I wanted to give her catalog a revisit and my initial proposal was for a 2 CD set of 'Stateless' that would include the long lost original mix of the album (before many songs were remixed and resung on the the version people know best). A couple of messages have been exchanged and I provided requested info. I tried to check in recently but no response yet. Perhaps I should just put out 20 applications at a time because 1 or 2 means sitting around hoping to hear something.
Rubellan wrote:So, I ran into my first roadblock. Regarding the indie label I contacted about the Lene reissues. After a couple of inquiries after I submitted (at their request) the proposed track listing and distribution plan, I finally got a response that they are going to decline my license request for now because they didn't care for my idea of using CD Baby for distribution. They said they are willing to re-evaluate when I have a few titles released and can show them some of my label's exposure. Money was never even discussed. This is bewildering to me because the labels usually license for a fee and how you distribute is your decision because they have their money. To basically tell me that my idea of distribution for a lesser known artist from 35-40 years ago is not adequate to even consider licensing is pretty surprising.
Rubellan wrote:Wow, what a supportive bunch. I will make sure to include a special Thank You to the Nwoutpost in the credits. I'm sure it won't be too hard to sell 1000 cds in a world of billions. But i guess we will find out soon enough. I'm willing to accept what ever happens.
