So it did come to a bit of a head when I challenged it all by asking to have her dad stop by and see what story lines do to dance floors etc. I all but begged for Intro/outro edits and all I got was licensing arguments about what Beyonce's dad would allow and illegal vj threats. Just the same I chose to keep that between them and I, they chose their way I chose mine and I agree with you now. I have made the same thoughts known to the PO guys from my first acquaintance with Junior all the way to Jim at the top. If people are paying for a paint job, give them a paint job, don't spray bomb it. If you don't think people are smart enough to notice, shame on you. it drags the rest of the vj's down when your shit has youtube, mtv and bet in the corner with nasty audio and video quality. On the other subject., if you aren't paying for a subscription.think about this. From that stand point it was ok, but still the original pot hole ridden no intro cold fade tracks that just made more work for us. Its the filter process that is time consuming which is more costly imo.īecause of the way they break up the available music, you'd have to subscribe to 3 or 4 to get the content you'd get on EV and wait a month for it at that. Yes Jack, its filler, but it also covers many other genres of stuff needed for other types of jobs beyond HH and club gigs. To have what is available now is amazing to say the least. I know guys that beat mixed off tape and that alone was a feat of skill. Well it's nice to see options come along after all of these years. Their stuff is owned by Unidisc and they can't even give me permission to use it.and it's their tracks. I know what you're saying about the "Indepedent Thing", might work, but if it ever comes back.is it worth the headaches for one video? I've talked to artists directly like Stevie B, Maestro Fresh Wes, Emjay, etc. Warner owns: Atlantic, Elektra, EastWest, Sire, Reprise, GiantĮMI owns: Parlaphone, Priority, Virgin, Capitol, Some Positiva Sony owns: So So Def, Columbia, J Records, Jive, Zomba, RCA, Loud, Epic, Profile Universal owns: Def Jam, Interscope, Motown, Universal Republic, A&M, MCA The best way to see who's label everyone is on is or .įor Sub labels, here's how they breakdown Warner also owns/distribute's all of Bad Boy's Catalogue and the Sean Paul and some Elephant Man from VP Records as well. Warner bought all of Tommy Boy's catalogue before 2001.So Naughty by Nature, House Of Pain, Coolio, etc. Sony denied the Hi Five videos, even though Jive (BMG) put out a Greatest Hits DVD. To follow up on that, Sony doesn't have in their systems the bad boy mixes of Honey or Fantasy.even though there's DVDs and other pools that have put them out. Same thing when Sony bought BMG's catalogue, some of the titles got lost of never got sucks, but we deal with what we can Some of the problems were when Warner bought Tommy Boy, not all the videos got copied over. Beta tapes are a bit easier.Īs for Warner denying the video.we have the video, but they said they don't have a record of it existing.I dunno, I showed them it on youtube, but their library doesn't have it.we have Smart E's - Sesame's Treet, every 112 video that ever existed, Jocelyn Enriquez - Do You Miss Me, etc.but we get denied because the master catalogue doesn't show them all. Some masters are stored on 1" ying to find them is nearly impossible. Keep in mind, they need to find it and it has decent quality. If there's something everyone is looking for, that we can all mutually agree on, we have no problem asking the label. It's another $30 or so to ship it each way via courier, cause each label only keeps one master copy of the tape. It's about $40 as a service fee to get the guy to dig it up in the vault. What we really need is the US offices of these labels to get on board with legal pools, and then these services will have access to the "file vault" we can only dream about. They can handle paperwork and so on, but there is no underground stash of cds, dvds, and LPs. Nik, you're in Germany, right? I'm sure your local branch of Universal is similar to the Canadian one. ![]() This is based on my experience getting vinyl, cds, and VHS from the Canadian labels back in the day. I'm sure they get new releases - but for older stuff, it doesn't surprise me that Xtendamix needs to source the material on their own. As the Canadian branch office to the "real label" they mainly do paperwork, domestic promoting, and are able to approve Xtendamix's distribution of content in Canada. ![]() My guess is because the labels here in Canada are nothing but glorified office buildings. ![]() I thought you were getting the videos from the labels? How comes that you have to buy them from ebay? We just bought a MJB DVD from ebay with all her greatest hits.
