How many artists own their MASTER RECORDINGS?? Does anyone have an idea on this percentage, Im sure none of these TOP 40 acts do and probably none of almost none o the hip hop acts do. Basically if U see a song on a compilation like NOWor TOTALLY HITS and any of those it almost always means the artist has no ownership of the stuff.
Off hand I do know that ELTON, BOWIE, SPRINGSTEEN, to name a few, also BON JOVI and even DURAN DURAN own their work, it took awhile but they got their masters. Anyone know more?

they also will be doing a new set list for all the shows in JAPAN, because they will be releasing all of the shows through a website, similar to PEARL JAM.

I think U2 owns their Masters. Isn't Bono the guy who told Prince about ownership? | |

yup! bono told prince that in order to own your masters you need to take a cut in royalties. it makes sense. if a label is going to front up all that money, and then you retain ownership, they might as well give you lower royalty rates. i think in addition to those listed, Stevie Wonder owns his masters. i'm sure there must be more but i think its kind of sad that we are having a hard time listing them. | |

Lots of Stevie Nicks' masters were allegedly stolen and that's why there are so many bootlegs of her work in the past 25 years circulating. Let the rain come down...17 days.... | |
