HW: footage

[ANDREW GARIBALDI]

Christ - that would take a longer answer than I have time for - let me
relate a story
a year or so ago, when we at CD Services wanted to release a CD by someone
whose tapes were langusishing in the vaults of a record company who shall be
nameless (NOT EMI), we were told expressly 'no way' would we be able even to
make an offer. We asked if that company would be releasing the CD themselves
and they said 'no'
so we said well what are you holding onto the recordings for and the reply
was something along the lines of 'well, he's got to die one day' and that
was in all seriousness and THAT is why there is so much stuff languishing in
record compnay vaults and publishers vaults (don't get me started on the
publishers).
They just don't care about anything that they don't think will sell into
five figures or more.
Call me Mr Cynical but this is from first hand experience.
Andy Garibaldi.

collector that  I mentioned, Dave says that EMI probably have most of the
band's early leftovers from studio sessions.
