Well thats interesting. I guess managing everything yourself isn't feasible in the long run.Jack White Signs Global Publishing Deal with Universal Music Publishing
Jack White and Universal Music Publishing Group announced today (April 27) a new global publishing deal that will grant the company exclusive access and direct control over the singer’s entire catalog -- including notable songs from The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, and The Dead Weather. The arrangement will also allow complete range of White’s solo albums Blunderbuss and Lazaretto, in addition to any collaborations or future ventures.
The agreement also includes White's publishing companies Third String Tunes and Peppermint Stripe Music to further develop new projects and existing songs. It also marks the first time a single publisher will globally administer the rights to White’s songs.

Whether you agree that it was or not, having back to back compilation albums will be pretty disappointing. Making one acoustic remixes doesn't make up for that...woodisgood wrote:No it wasn't.

Oh yeah! And sorry if I stepped on any toes, but yeah basically everyone I talked to IRL called the newest record an greatest hits record, occasionally mentioning acoustic.arewhyehen wrote:Whether you agree that it was or not, having back to back compilation albums will be pretty disappointing.

So he owns the rights, but hires companies like yours and this new one just to manage them, right? To find licensing opportunities and then collect his royalties?curseofhalos wrote:I work at the previous administrator of his catalog. Nothing really major or different about this. I'm sure they just offered him a better deal than we could give him. He never managed his own publishing rights.
Yep, the admins just take a percentage. Lots of artist just sign contracts for an x amount of years and then they take them elsewhere if they can get better deals.Kali Durga wrote:So he owns the rights, but hires companies like yours and this new one just to manage them, right?

That's pretty much what I assumed this meant. Thanks for clarifying. Guess the fact that this warranted announcements in so many news sources is one more indication of how big he's gotten.curseofhalos wrote:Yep, the admins just take a percentage.

I haven't listened to this yet, but I hope that if I post in here I'll remember to get around to it this week.There is so much to say, and even more to hear from the Wizard of Wax himself, Jack White. In this episode we spin three sets of vinyl that revolve around Mr. White and his record label Third Man Records. This mix is eclectic, full of fuzz, sprinkled with surprises, and throwing all sorts of vintage vibe your way. Thanks for tuning in to the all-vinyl Stax of Wax.
