Christine becomes the 4th member to sell her catalog
 

Variety didn’t say for how much, but Hypgnosis said that by buying her catalog, she’s finally reunited with Lindsey Buckingham LOL whose catalog they previously acquired.

Thanks for posting!

How can she sell what she sold years ago? Does this mean she owns all the material written since her previous sale?

Exactly..and really how much could the rights for In The Meantime and her songs on Buckvie could have fetched? Her new house must be a very expensive project.

Perhaps she didn't sell all of her material. Or, she bargained for rights on her return. It is a stream of income.

I hear Everywhere, YMLF, Don't Stop, SYLM, Little Lies, Over My Head, ALAYF, and Hold Me quite a bit. Probably daily.

Then why TF don't we know that???

I thought we knew everything!!!:D

Thank YOU, dougl, for posting an actual link.

Hang on, I'll call and ask her. Why didn't you say so? :laugh:

The article says they purchased 115 songs....
so its not just her post-97 material. Its everything.

Hipgnosis? What a hideously ugly name for a company.

I thought she sold her catalog when she was done with the Mac in 1998? Everywhere was used in a commercial so it appears to be true. Did she buy them back? How can she sell all the songs again?
We demand answers!!!!

We need answers, because this scenario makes ZERO sense.

OMG now Michele is going to pounce on me to try to find that 1988 Billboard article I had stating Christine sold her publishing.:laugh::wavey:

Billboard article
 

I’m no completely sure what selling a catalog means. When I read about Dylan selling his catalog, it meant the new owner will not have to share any future earnings from this contribution with Dylan. In addition, he lost control over the copyright of all the songs he has created during his career.

Are these always the same terms? It’s the same with Christine songs? What happen if the band (well, I’m being polite, if Mick…) want to reissue Rumours (don't laugh, it's always possible)? Do they have to ask Hypgnosis permission? Or just share the revenue with them? Same with live songs, if Fleetwood Mac (whatever lineup with Christine) play her songs live, they need Hypgnosis permission? How does all this work from now on?
