FW: OFF: the future of the rock industry

[Chris Warburton]

The obvious current example here is Discipline, with the background of Fripp
wresting control of the Crimso back catalogue back from "big biz", and
providing an "ethical" platform for associated and like-minded artist(e)s to
publish/distribute their material without signing away their copyrights etc.
(and cf. the prior comments re. Zep/SwanSong/Page, John Paul Jones put out
his latest through Discipline).  Could be a good template for anybody else
trying to do the same things.

Cheers

P.S. Apologies if this arrives twice... mail-server problems!

by some hollywood acting folk [garland? sinatra? etc?] long ago. don't know
the story well enough to try to tell it.
and not coincidentally [?]  'home' of many lps by HW/ Can/ADII and such in
the early '70s, though i believe UA was far from its origins by then.
