Pretty much every artist that has made it
eventually obtains complete artistic freedom,
i.e. final say on everything; i.e. Madge, MJ,
Prince, Kylie... (which is the reason why
we'll probably never hear her first
deConstruction sessions with Saint Etienne
and Rapino Brothers).

Once in a blue moon, you get debut artists
with total creative control from the gate,
such as P!nk. While she might like dance
music, she loathes mixes of her tracks. She
put the kibosh on club mixes starting with
Just Like A Pill and Feel Good Time. Starting
with her third album, Arista UK
commissioning all club mixes of her songs,
which in turn were then promoted by Arista in
the US. Clearly a loophole in her contract.

the b-side of "promises" has an edit of "make it like memory" that's
almost a full four minutes shorter than the version on the 'guilty'
album....does anyone know the edit points of this "short version"...?

Sorry about that, Gordon. There's a space between the numbers in the link I posted which I can't seem to eliminate. Either copy it and paste it, then remove the space between the "587" and "6964", or do what I originally did: Google "Neil Diamond signs with Capitol"

Thanks for the info. Interesting. BTW, I tried the link but it doesn't work.

In a nutshell, Neil Diamond's Columbia catalog is no longer available through Columbia/Sony.

Just to clarify the ownership of Neil Diamond's master recordings, Neil does not presently own his Uni/MCA masters (Universal does), but he does own all of his Bang/Columbia/Sony masters released on Columbia until January, 2014. His The Jazz Singer LP and its associated singles - which were originally issued on Capitol - all state "(P)1980 Neil Diamond" on the labels, so he's always owned the masters to those, too. After a few years, Neil took those Capitol tracks over to Columbia.

Just as Paul McCartney's back catalog has followed his label-hopping from Capitol to Columbia, back to Capitol and his present stop at Concord/Hear Music, Neil's back catalog - including the Columbia/Sony masters - now resides with Capitol. Not that that's necessarily a huge change, since Capitol's chairman and CEO Steve Barnett previously worked with Neil at Columbia up until late 2012 (and was one of the chief architects in luring Neil over to the label.)

Neil's Capitol All-Time Greatest Hits CD, released less than a month ago, includes material from all three phases of his catalog.

Here's a link to the full Billboard story from last January:

So are you saying that since January, Universal owns all of Neil's Columbia material, and NOT Columbia? In this case, Sony wouldn't be able to put Neil's stuff at all. And this is a shame because Universal is even less likely to care about putting out his single mixes (like "I Dreamed a Dream" and "On the Way to the Sky") which have never seen the light of day on CD. ]]> Sat, 02 Aug 2014 09:26:21 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8160&PID=41949&title=barbra-streisand-promises#41949 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8160&PID=41948&title=barbra-streisand-promises#41948 Author: Yah Shure

Gordon, Neil signed with Universal's Capitol label back in January. The deal brought his entire Bang, Uni/MCA and Columbia/Sony catalogs together under one roof (or dome) for the first time.   ]]> Sat, 02 Aug 2014 06:53:45 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8160&PID=41948&title=barbra-streisand-promises#41948 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8160&PID=41947&title=barbra-streisand-promises#41947 Author: MMathews

Thanks for the heads-up on the 12" being on youtube. I
used to own it, and I now was wondering what mix was on
the 12". It is indeed the 45 mix. The 45 is sped up also
and yes, has that dry, sparse sound to it.
So yes, the 45 can be edited from the 12" single.

From the LP version, there would be no edits, you just
need to fade it early. Start your fade around 3:42 and
end it around 3:54. Remember the 45 is sped up, so it
runs 3:52.

Note tho, if one is making the 45 from the 12" single,
there would be an edit needed because the 12" version
loops a chorus twice (a very lazy way to extend it I
think).

Glen answered it. Barry Manilow and Bruce Springsteen are two other ones that have a say in their old releases. With Barbra, Neil & Bruce, part of it has to do with the fact that they are current artists on Sony. With Barry and Billy, they're not - but all of them are such big superstars that at some point (I presume) they had their contracts modified so they have a say on what older catalog gets released.
