Friday 03/17/06 Great article by Bill Holland from Billboard magazine on the problems record labels have had archiving old musical recordings. Some of this will make you cry. Re: archival recordings There are 3 messages in this thread, displayed in the order they were posted. July 9/19/2006 5:53:09 AM Pacific Do you consider that old music is much better then the modern one? For the most part I'm listening to the hits of 19-20 century and I never feel boring of it. Bill Holland 11/22/2006 10:36:48 AM Pacific Jerry, Was it you who found my articles (originally published in Billboard) on the problems of archiving and preserving what amounts to our audio-musical-cultural heritage? In any event, thanks. It is an important topic. Remember, all the thousands and thousands of heritage US record labels have now been "acquired" and are now owned (and stored away) by four multinational corporations rather than music people: Universal Music Group (UMG), Sony-BMG, EMI and Warner. Other readers interested in the horror stories can read the articles on my web site, www.billholland.net. Jerry Kindall 11/22/2006 11:24:18 AM Pacific What a pleasure to see a message from you on my site, Bill. Yes, I ran across your site -- can't remember how -- and as a music lover, I was aghast at how some of those old recordings have been treated and how many have been lost. The good news is that in the iPod era, the chances are vanishingly small that any piece of music that's available in a digital format will ever be totally lost. No matter how obscure a recording is, if it's been released publicly, hundreds or thousands of people will have a copy of it on their computers -- many illegally, but for preservation purposes, that doesn't much matter. I think the record companies' goal should be to digitize as much as possible from the vaults, as quickly as possible, and set it free on the 'net so it'll never be lost again.
