Ce serait un BOOTLEG selon Lukas Kendall !!! Re- Voici ce que Kendall en dit:
Hi Folks,
Let me tell you the story of the new Slipstream CD...which is now a collector's item.
As some of you know, but not Robin Esterhammer, apparently, there is more than one permission needed in order to release a soundtrack CD. You need the soundtrack album rights (typically from the film company), the master rights (the right to the recording that was made of the music, typically from the film company) and the publishing rights (the right to the written compositions of music that were recorded, typically published by a company affiliated with the film company). Usually, you get all these rights from the film company.
Slipstream was an atypical case in that the rights to the publishing were given to Elmer Bernstein as part of his deal in scoring the film. Thus Bernstein's estate owns the publishing -- but the soundtrack album rights and master rights (the recording with the London Symphony Orchestra) belong to the film company, Entertainment Film (I think).
Having been one of several labels who inquired with the film company for the Slipstream album rights over the years, I knew that their standard answer was "no."
I have also known for a long time that Perseverance plays fast and loose with licensing. So when the Slipstream CD was announced, then released, my assumption was that Robin probably discovered that the compositions were owned by Bernstein's estate, licensed that right (and only that right) from the estate and used Elmer's master tapes (now at USC) to make a CD...blithely ignoring the fact that Bernstein's estate did not own the master or soundtrack album rights. Because that's how Robin works (or doesn't work).
In recent weeks Robin asked me to help him get some licenses from a studio I've done some work with...and I said no. I said no because I had a sneaking suspicion that Slipstream was not properly licensed, and I could not in good faith recommend that anyone do business with Robin.
Robin insisted, blah blah blah, that he had all the Slipstream rights fair and square from the Bernstein estate, I was just bitter (as if I didn't get my Elmer sci-fi fix doing Heavy Metal: The Score). When I finally got the Slipstream CD, and saw the inane way in which he did the copyright notice, I knew that my hunch must be correct—I laid all of this out for Robin like I was talking to a child—and warned him that if he pestered me one more time, I would call the Bernstein estate and without question, they would agree with my assessment that Slipstream was not properly licensed, and they would recall the product. But out of respect, I would not do this if he would just go away.
But Robin did not go away. He went over my head to the studio (where I would not help him), who bounced it back to me in "WTF" fashion, and I said I've had enough of this.
I called the Bernstein estate, they were apoplectic to discover that Perseverance did not properly license Slipstream, and sent a cease and desist.
So if you got one, it's a collector's item.
I hope Perseverance packs it in because they give all of us a bad name.
