delboy Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 this is typical of the major record companies, i remember a few years ago not long after EMI had paid a ridiculous amount of money to secure the services of by then has been useless twat Mariah Carey they were forced to do the same thing cos after one flop album and a flop movie, they paid off the aforementioned talentless tart a 'lorra lorra' cash as crap scouser cilla black would say.also sony shedding loads of jobs not long after the global flop of alleged kiddie fiddler michael jackson (ha the album was called invincible, something the wacky one is not). for example the regional indie radio plugger was axed....will they ever learn????

LonelyHunter Alister Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 Heard that the Williams deal worked out well. Did Music Week not say that Williams earne 17 million last year?Heard a wee bit on Radio 5, sounded like they are cutting/closing their manufacturing plants, in a bid to save costs. Also cut in their rosta, heard 20% cut mentioned. Niche markets, and 'underperforming' acts to go................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Jack Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Originally posted by delboy:i think EMI are under performing in the mainland European market... A lot of Dutch acts going apparently. A bit of a blow for the Eurodisco novelty cash-in market then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAT SCENE WILL NEVER EVER DIE!I must admit there is a need for high speed disco remixes - without them there wouldn't be as much laughter in the world...

cow tipper Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 i don't think any UK-signed acts have been bumped off yet, thus Crackout, Haven, The 22-20s et al can rest easy.For now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
