Youth in Asia 1,087 Posted July 5, 2009 Record label mogul Allen Klein, who handled the affairs of both the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, has died at the age of 77. I think he was responsible for The Verve losing the rights to Bitter Sweet Symphony. Otherwise described as the best Rolling Stones song of the last 25 years.

Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted July 6, 2009 I rather think that was the fault of the Verve and their producer (Youth.) it was such an obvious sample that wasn't cleared, and that would always be a 100% royalties claim for the original copyright holder. Having said that, Klein was a grade-A tosspot who single handedly prevented loads of good music ever being released properly (Stones, ? And The Mysterians etc.) so I hope he had a painful exit. "Though I walk in the shadow of the valley of evil, I have no fear, as I am the biggest bastard in the valley." Allen Klein I think he was responsible for The Verve losing the rights to Bitter Sweet Symphony. Otherwise described as the best Rolling Stones song of the last 25 years.
