Henley discusses termination rights

THE END OF THE INNOCENCE: Speaking with David Browne in Rolling Stone, Don Henley shed some light on the nuts and bolts of the battle shaping up between artists and the labels over ownership of master recordings. Asked about the importance of retrieving the Eagles’ masters, Henley replied, “We still sell a lot of catalog. So it would mean a great deal to us and our heirs. I have four kids. The future ain't what it used to be, as somebody once said. For artists like the Eagles and others who have sold millions upon millions of records and made millions in profits for the record companies, those artists should get their creations back. It's very simple. We created them, we paid for them—why aren't they ours? But the record companies claim ownership and authorship, which is one of the absurd things in a recording contract.” (9/8a)
