Best of 88-91??
Where've you got that from?
Don't tell me...Dotmusic, right?
This is the site that said all four Roses have been working together at Abbey..!
LOL..!
Had a wee chat with John Nuttall today, Reni's manager.
He's filled in some gaps for you.
Now, he'd know right? Man..If anyone knows what Reni's business is regarding all this, then it's him, right?
Are you implying he's misinformed?
Cobblers man.
Anyhow..
If there is no SC era stuff on there, why are the Roses involved?
Silvertone and the Roses ( in case you didn't know ) aren't exactly the best of mates.
Aside from that, if Silvertone wanted to put a compilation out of S/tone era material, they just could..End of.
Silvertone need NO permission to reproduce the Roses material from the time they were on the label.
( Do you know about a certain paint splattering incident at all??? )
The Roses have
had to be asked for permission to do this compilation and, you being
'in the business' would know that they NEED to be asked, as their Geffen contract stipulates, any reproduction of their material needs all four members permission.
The Silvertone contract does not stipulate this.
The Roses learned from their previous mistake..!
Forget what you read on the Dotmusic site..
89-91 my arse.
Yes, it is going to be released on Silvertone.
How you ask?
John says this :
" I wouldn't actually say that Geffen is working with Silvertone on this compilation. They simply received a request for licensing and passed on the request to the artists who for the first time gave their agreement. Along the same lines as EMI might ask various labels for the right to reproduce tracks for the Now That's What I Call Music compilaions."
I can tell you :
Johnny's done some new artwork.
There's a couple of 'other' things that will be happening too.
( No, nothing Roses related, at least as far as members/reformation/anything like that is concerned..)
Lemme tell ya something, yeah?
You say I'll be proved wrong, yeah?
I've seen the
tracklist today mate.
I'll just say one thing.
TSLS. ( amongst others..)
You have been misinformed my friend.
Adios.
