Boycott Sony & BMG Corporate Multinationals Have Stolen Rolando's Track The Corporate Affiliates of Sony & BMG January 2000 |
More Fuel For the Fire
by Dave Barnett
Q Magazine's june 1999 issue ("who own who" article) featured an article about who own's what label (majors and inspendents). So i have listed here the 'BMG' and ' SONY' hierarchy, as well as some of the artists on the labels..
* Please note that this info is about a year old so some of the artists/labels may of moved or merged.
I know this information must be of use to some of you.
Please do not purchase this record from any large commercial chain store. These stores have never supported this type of music and only do so now so in order to appear cool and current. If you decide to buy this record please only purchase it from a knowleageble speciality shop or a local Mom & Pop store or smaller business that have supported the music from its inception. Super chain stores have never had the time or focus to search out cutting edge underground music! They can only react once the speciality shops and underground labels have created a market for the music, then all of a sudden they and the major music labels start wanting the music because they know they can overpower the small labels and work their nework of retailers that made this music possible with their massive advertising campaigns and prefab artists, that do weak imitations of what the music realy is. And worst, it's 10 or 12 years late. We have two questions for you:
Renegade Rhythms is not affiliated with UR, Submerge, or 430 West. We are concerned consumers, djs & producers who are attempting to further information about this issue. |
Please feel free to email Sony & BMG to voice your opinion.
