The company didn't even know they were there. Sad, unbelievable and outrageous in equal measure.

I recorded at EMI's studios a few times in the late 90's early 00's.. was amazed that their masters cupboard: was used as an amp booth... free access for the hundreds of bands in and out each year.. who knows how many masters 'walked'. There were Gaydad masters (gulp) but more, shall we say, valuable ones from bands like Elastica and Starsailor....... wonder if theyre still there...... Fascinating snippet.

Now there are international agencies dedicated solely to tracking these stolen works down. What is the difference with music? Again this is because music as culture is not recognised as such, only as an economic activity and if some old masters (what an ironic use of the word that is!) go missing so be it. It's interesting to note Universal's new site http://losttunes.com so when it suits they aren't daft to making things available. Looking forward to hearing the rest of the interview Good piece and what immediately springs to mind is the parallel with the art world where over the centuries great (and not so great!) works of art are stolen to order.

I've yet to go through it with a fine-tooth comb - lots of material to dig out of there. I might put some more bits and pieces up here as I go.
