RE: Record Catalogs

Just an update on my record catalog stuff, the label Great White North Records my bands old label that I own I now own all the albums on the label for print from Great White North Records and Prodisk Music.

Those ones I'm not printing, they are available for free sharing on of file sharing programs.

Although I can print those, I have decided to go with other artists that I can do better with so they go to the bottom of the box.

That means you can trade them on free services on file sharing.

Another part is this, any K-Tel song versions are the larger commercial versions owned by K-Tel...acts like Iron Maiden used to be K-Tel.

Banzai Records their top act was Metallica, the metal tier of K-Tel International from Canada.

Metallica was sold, then all other albums were scrapped and never printed by Banzai Records on CD except for some local and unofficial versions.

The only ones that came out in the larger market were bands like Iron Maiden and Accept on K-Tel International from Canada and Banzai Records from Canada.

What I mean is if an album was never printed on Compact Disc from K-Tel or Banzai Records it is a local version after the larger sale of bands like Iron Maiden and Metallica meaning that any other albums that never made it to CD by the 1990's the rights are owned by K-Tel or Banzai Records.

So when you see an unreleased album on CD format from Banzai Records, from the larger label like K-Tel the original performances are K-Tel performances which are bigger than the actual acts and the bands today just use their own version of the K-Tel presentation for their original record deal.

Just being rough here and not total fact...that means the heavy metal albums on free mp3 digital from labels like K-Tel and Banzai never printed on CD were released on free digital file sharing in like 1997.

Since then if you are asking about who owns the rights to print the out of print metal albums never released on the original Banzai records the sound and copyright on albums like Iron Angel and Tyrant fall back to Banzai Records and are available only as free versions on digital file sharing as "official versions".

All other cd pressings are unofficial form K-Tel but they may still be under smaller agreements but they are not real releases, the real distributed albums from Banzai and K-Tel are only available on free sharing.

So I'm saying that's who owns the actual rights to the un-printed albums after Metallica came out on Banzai fall back to K-Tel and Banzai if they are not officially printed by K-Tel (the actual stage production under any name or anonymous name) to put the actual metal performance in the record to make them real Iron Maiden "bands".

I'm saying the K-Tel performance is worth more than the actual bands and that's what makes the original metal bands K-Tel's...the large performance for television ads.

All other versions listed on the internet don't matter, the master ownership falls back to K-Tel and Banzai if not printed are are available on free digital file sharing, those are "official version" the cd's are not if they were printed.

So if original  K-Tel decides to do a song it becomes a K-Tel official version for television production and then all other album are just smaller runs and K-Tel always owns the original show.
