George Clinton has lost the rights to four of his songs after being ordered to hand the copyright over as payment of a $1million debt.
Clinton owed the money to his former lawyers, the Hendricks & Lewis law firm, who represented him between 2005 and 2008. In 2010, Hendricks & Lewis won a $1.5million case against Clinton after claiming he had failed to pay back their fees but a new court case found that Clinton only paid back $340,000 of that amount. Subsequently, a federal judge ordered that Clinton must hand over the copyrights to four of his songs in lieu of payment.
A series of 65 unpublished colour photographs of The Beatles during their 1964 sell-out US tour are to be auctioned.
The slides will go under the hammer at Omega Auctions in Stockport, Cheshire on March 22, which marks 50 years since the band released their debut LP Please Please Me, the BBC reports. They will be sold along with the copyright and are expected to fetch between £10,000 and £15,000.
A brand new Jimi Hendrix single "Somewhere" was played on the radio for the first time this morning (Jan 7).
The track, which will be released as part of People, Hell & Angels, the forthcoming album of previously unreleased studio recordings, was played by DJ Shaun Keaveny on his BBC 6Music programme.
The album will be released on March 4, 2013 and features 12 'new' songs, which see Hendrix experimenting with horns, keyboards, percussion and a second guitar.
Could be wrong about this, but I think the track I posted and tweeted most often last year was “Sunshine, No Shoes” by the Philadelphia band, Spacin’: I’m going to add it again after the jump. Spacin’, to recap - though you can follow this link to a blog about them - are a project fronted by Jason Killinger, a spin-off from a longish-established Philly psych band called Birds Of Maya; BOM’s amazing “Ready To Howl” album got a belated UK release last year on Agitated.
