Hi Guys

We are tying to get in touch with "whoever it is" to clear or get permission to use an accapella from the mid 90's - in our new track.

So far - I have called Ariola Germany who was the original label - they were acquired by Sony UK. Went to Sony Music UK, filled in there licence form on their website - nothing back, then called and left several messages in their licensing department.

Then I went to the original publishers - BMG, it turns out that they were acquired by Universal!! GREAT... another several emails and voice messages later - again nothing.

I contacted a UK Licensing company "who were quite helpful" in telling me that "According to the PRS database it is published by Rode Ster (Red Star) music in the Netherlands....... I can’t find anything about Rode Ster though"

So now i am at a very frustrating end of my tether and not sure what to do??

Can anyone help?
 
Your options are limited

1. You wait until you get a response. Remember, they don't have to grant the license
2. Hire a third party. Sometimes they reply sooner with experienced agencies
3. Release it anyway and get their attention
4. Move on

that's really all you can do
