Abortion's an excellent topic Ross! Clearly, some people on this list should have been aborted (or at least should be aborted from the list). So much bitterness and nastiness -- you'd think the Police list was actually The Police! How about a change of subject? I just finished Broken Music and thought the ending was just brilliant. It wrapped up the Police years in a couple of paragraphs, but that last chapter really got to me (partly because I am going through some of the same issues). What do you weirdoes think? -----Original Message----- From: Ross Viner [mailto:sting@shaw.ca] Sent: Friday, November 21, 2003 3:52 PM To: police(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: RE: [Police] Weirdo Whining Bootleggers Can we talk about something less controversial?

Sting in Milano Sunday
by Giovanni 22 Nov '03

22 Nov '03

Hello everybody from Giovanni. BACK TO STING NEWS Sting will be in Milano tomorrow; two TV shows are planned: QUELLI CHE IL CALCIO - footbal tv show, where VIP comment on daily football match; Sting will be there only to sing one song (I guess 'Whenever I Say Your Name'). TOP OF THE POP - Sting should sing a couple of songs, and will be interviewed. I'v been contacted by the author of Top Of The Pop to help about questions for Sting; he had already a set of questions, but he simply wanted to be sure those might be interesting for Sting. I'll be at both show, but believe me, this time it has been hard to get passes (Quelli Che Il Calcio) or simply be in the public (Top Of The Pop); unfortunately some 'major keys' lost their job at Universal and all the guys (marketing directors and various employees) I use to get in touch with no longer work for Universal since Wednesday! Me - THE KING OF PASSES IN ITALY (ehehe...)....I've knocked on some other doors and could get them anyway (the name run and what I've done in the past on Sting gave me reason to be 'included' in the list....Lydia and I of course...), but believe me, it's been hard, and I still don't know whether tomorrow everything will run as planned...I'm absolutely not that sure.... The only chance I might have to meet Sting will be at the rehearsal of Quelli Che Il Calcio, but as there is always a lot of mess, I might even not get closed as I would....you will know everything tomorrow night..... Ciao ciao a tutti, belli e brutti....(???) Giovanni (The Warrior From The Planet Of Love) Ps.: check www.stewartcopeland.it and click into NOTTE DELLA TARANTA SECTION - rehearsal you will see a lot of pics I took to Stewart a couple of months ago...they seem taken at Sycnhronicity tour if you see how Stewart looks! Ciao ciao Giovanni http://www.stewartcopeland.it http://www.illegaltales.it

royalties
by Gary Schmitz 21 Nov '03

Jeremy said... >>Musicians get roughly 12-18% of cover price if they get a good deal. If you consider that the record company pays an advance, pays all the recording time, mastering time, and then does all promotion, marketing and distribution then the truth is that the record company doesn’t have much left over. Publishing, Royalties and distribution IS my line of work. You just need to look at the annual reports for the record companies, they are all in the red. Jeremy<< ---------------------------------------- "TLC's contract with Pebbitone gives the group 7 percent of the revenues from the sale of the first 500,000 copies of the debut and second albums. That increases to 8 percent on sales over a million copies -- a "platinum" seller. Even if the group stays hot long enough to justify an eighth album -- a rarity in the genre -- the members' percentage increases to just 9.5 percent on sales of more than a million copies. The royalty range in the industry varies from TLC's rate at the low end to up to 13 percent at the high end. " I got this at http://216.239.41.104/search?q=cache:USDB77tA9wQJ:mbhs.bergtraum.k12.ny.us/… So TLC sells 1 million records, and for that, the music buyer (you) paid in the area of 12-15 million dollars, and TLC gets a check for $960,000 to 1.2 million. That's 96 cents to $1.20 per record. So then, gross sales are 12 to 15 million, the artist gets about a million dollars. To be clear, a million dollars is lots and lots of money. But it is about a dollar per record.

A lurker's first post... I'd like to know how/if Jeremy is going to answer the charge about his bootlegging business. And I would like to say that Steve's post has given me a WHOLE LIST of things to ponder over. As much as Jason's retort. Rich's sharing as well. Shel

<Ya. I've never understood why this happens? Wasn't everyone here taught it rude to bring up politics?> <We have a sufficient number of pissing contests going on right now let's keep the politics off line please> What?! How can you discuss Sting without discussing politics? Much of his work over the course of his career has significantly dealt with politics. Some of his best songs are political. This logic ties me up and rapes me. De doo doo doo, de da da da is all I want to say to you. ®@J _________________________________________________________________ online games and music with a high-speed Internet connection!
