TVTよどこへ行く。
以前にも報じられたように、NINのPHMなどの作品群を含む、TVTの資産が身売りされたようです。これこそ「大人の事情」という奴でしょうか。

Original TVT master recordings by artists such as Nine Inch Nails and Gravity Kills have been acquired by Los Angeles-based music publishing firm Bicycle Music. The deal includes 700 masters – roughly 80 albums worth of material – that were last controlled by Prudential Securities Credit Corp, which acquired them after a legal battle with TVT.
Included in the deal: Nine Inch Nails debut title “Pretty Hate Machine”; albums produced by the Connells; and the “Television’s Greatest Hits” library of TV theme songs, comprised of about 500 masters of licensed original recordings and owned re-recorded covers of famous theme songs; among other works. Bicycle Music partner/VP of business development and acquisitions Steve Salm added that music publishing rights for most of the masters is included in the deal. For example, the co-publishing rights to Trent Reznor’s Nine Inch Nails catalog include the songs from all album releases from “Pretty Hate Machine” through “Year Zero.”
“From the Connells’ own brand of roots rock, to the avant garde Rise Robots Rise track turned international Tom Jones hit ‘If I Only Knew,’ to Trent Reznor’s game-changing record “Pretty Hate Machine,” this catalog embodies some of the most important works of the past 25 years if not in the history of modern rock,” Bicycle Music president and CIO Roger Miller said in a statement.
なるほど、この会社でしたか。
