Union Square acquire Nazareth catalogue – reissues planned
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 19 January 2009
Expect re-releases aplenty from the Scottish rockers Nazareth because independent catalogue label Union Square have snapped up both the band’s master recordings and publishing copyrights in a deal covering 24 albums and 180 compositions.
The label told CMU: “Union Square Music will begin a detailed re-issue campaign featuring enhanced studio albums including ‘Razamanaz’ and ‘Loud ‘n’ Proud’, themed compilations and anthologies, as well as exploiting the masters via sub-licensing. Our publishing division will be soliciting covers and synchronisation for the published copyrights”.
Union Square MD Peter Stack added: “The Nazareth acquisition fits perfectly with USM’s strategy of acquiring quality copyrights across both masters and publishing to exploit through our own physical and digital releases and via licenses to film, TV, games and third party record labels”.
