As the Director of Archives I oversee the collection, cataloging, and
storage of all Creative assets (Audio/Video/Film/Photo/Artwork) for EMI
in the US. I don't deal with any legal, accounting, or contractual
paperwork as that is stored in paper vaults under someone else's careful
watch.
I do have metal parts, 16" transcription discs, 78's LP's, ect. as well
as analog tape, digital tape, cd's, dvd's, and most other media storage
formats. I also keep session notes, recording logs, release books, etc.
If it came out in the US with EMI/Capitol/Virgin/Blue Note (or any other
subsidiary label) then technically I should have the masters and 2
copies of the finished product.
The job keeps me pretty busy, which is why I lurk more then I post in
this forum.

P.S. I don't do the suing.....Legal Affairs gets that job.

Your signature caught my eye! Are these archives of masters/metal
parts, archived recording ledgers, or some completely different form
of "archive?"

Or is this the guy who's going to sue me for transferring 51-year-old
Capitols for offshore CD reissues? I know NUSSING........
