help with sony(columbia/epic) licensing dept info


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

I am looking into licensing some major label stuff for vinyl re-release, I have been able to get in touch with all the majors except sony who handles both columbia and epic. I got the music licensing dept number from their receptionist but no one ever picks up and i left 2 or 3 messages over the last month with no response. Figured i would ask around on here and see if anyone has had any luck with contacting them and if there was a direct email address or something I could get some more info from. Thanks for your time everyone, hope to hear back soon. If someone can help me out then ill throw you a vinyl down the road if all works out. Thanks

were you able to get in touch with universal about lydia by any chance?

not yet, its on my list of things to look into though. Im focusing on putting out four drive thru releases in the next year and then working on putting out some major label stuff. But i have a huge list of stuff im going to look into, if anyone else has any requests pm or email me and ill make note.

Aren't you the same guy who was making bootleg Drive Thru records? I remember Rob Hitt posting about that.

yea but it wasnt a bootleg, i am doing 4 other dtr releases and midtown was going to happen and then richard gave me permission for a test pressing then backed out when he heard the test press and decided he wanted to do it himself, although personally i dont he will and ill end up doing it in a year after i do the rest but time will tell. Robb knows all about it and also has one of the copies of the test pressing now.

I dunno, sorry dude.

It's strange...it's like you know it won't be released but you won't say why. And then you apologize as if you feel bad that it won't be released...I don't get it. Do you know why it won't be released or are you just speculating?

I asked EVR about it and they said it wasnt do-able. Not sure why.

Last I heard, it was on the list of releases EVR's planning on pressing/repressing themselves. Dunno how far down that list is, but it's on the list.
