Margaret Little

[Robbk]

Not sure who owned the publishing on Margaret's track, But all Popcorn's other material was either, jointly with Ollie McLaughlin's publishing company or his own, which the family now hold the paper work on, although there is some dispute over this due to a deal he did, just before he died, and I haven't heard from the family for somewhile.

The publishing on both of Margaret's cuts on GeneBro was owned by Popcorn Wylie's self-owned Ala King Music. But, again, I don't think they made any money "selling" the Stardust pressings (I'd guess that any sales that occurred went to cover the pressing costs, and as so many were given away, no profits were made). So, any inquiry as to any money due Popcorn's heirs or Ms. little, would be from sales or use of the 2 songs in some other form/format.

On that same subject, there were likely NO commercial sales of the original GeneBro release. Even if there were, I doubt that they'd have been enough to cover recording studio time fees and pressing costs. So Ms. Little would likely be due naught from Gene Bro,,,,, and the same from Detroit Stars.

would it be a presumption dave, that a dispute may be because his( popcorn's ) estate includes his musical works, thus his family are saying that they should have any say in any dealings, comcluded or not?, or was that what he was trying to secure, so his family got some long overdue remuneration upon his death?

p.s. i still love des parker's story about when him & adey picked the tune up after recieving a pile of tunes from their "resident ghetto trawler". i think it was 2003 something like that. they played it to john anderson...he didnt know it but said they'd get a grand for it,...next thing soul sam flashed a 7k wad at them and before you know it,it got its premier at yours and my favourite venue....the manor. i promptly ran up the "last all-nighter" playlist and dave welding gave me a tug, suggesting i not mention the identity. next time round sam played it at the ritz " rarest of the rare" mayday bank holiday all-nighter and it rammed the floor.....needless to say i got a pic of a very "cheshire cat" sam with his prize posession...the next pic was mick .h's aqquisition a while later...2 out of 3.....wonder if there's a chance of a unique pictorial prile of aces?

in hindsight, a picture sleeve with some liner notes would probably have sold out the legit reissue, dont know how many dealers actually took on stock, but cant be too many if it was only a limited run as suggested...so in time will these become collectable in the absense of owning a genuine copy?, i think i remember listening to it ( the reissue ) and the sound quality seemed all right. hope andy gets to finish his piece and posts it up here on this thread and a picture of the lady would complete the story thus far.
