Jack White Signs Global Publishing Deal with Universal Music Publishing

Jack White and Universal Music Publishing Group announced today (April 27) a new global publishing deal that will grant the company exclusive access and direct control over the singer’s entire catalog -- including notable songs from The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, and The Dead Weather. The arrangement will also allow complete range of White’s solo albums Blunderbuss and Lazaretto, in addition to any collaborations or future ventures.

The agreement also includes White's publishing companies Third String Tunes and Peppermint Stripe Music to further develop new projects and existing songs. It also marks the first time a single publisher will globally administer the rights to White’s songs.

Well thats interesting. I guess managing everything yourself isn't feasible in the long run.

No it wasn't. Not even basically.

Whether you agree that it was or not, having back to back compilation albums will be pretty disappointing. Making one acoustic remixes doesn't make up for that...

Oh yeah! And sorry if I stepped on any toes, but yeah basically everyone I talked to IRL called the newest record an greatest hits record, occasionally mentioning acoustic.
Which I was fine with because I finally got that Coke and Cold Mountain song for my turntable.
But yeah don't need to have a plugged in greatest hits record right after that.

On a side note, if there is a Greatest Hits record....which of his previous records will be most under represented? Will anything from the newest Dead Weather make the cut?

Smells more to me like more songs in more commercials in more countries. Which is fine with me, since he seems to use that sort of money for things like the Paramount sets and the pressing plant and American Epic.

I work at the previous administrator of his catalog. Nothing really major or different about this. I'm sure they just offered him a better deal than we could give him. He never managed his own publishing rights. :shock:

So he owns the rights, but hires companies like yours and this new one just to manage them, right? To find licensing opportunities and then collect his royalties?

Yep, the admins just take a percentage. Lots of artist just sign contracts for an x amount of years and then they take them elsewhere if they can get better deals.

That's pretty much what I assumed this meant. Thanks for clarifying. Guess the fact that this warranted announcements in so many news sources is one more indication of how big he's gotten.

Thank you for finding a YouTube version of that ^^, the video on the CBS News site is lousy quality.

There is so much to say, and even more to hear from the Wizard of Wax himself, Jack White. In this episode we spin three sets of vinyl that revolve around Mr. White and his record label Third Man Records. This mix is eclectic, full of fuzz, sprinkled with surprises, and throwing all sorts of vintage vibe your way. Thanks for tuning in to the all-vinyl Stax of Wax.
I haven't listened to this yet, but I hope that if I post in here I'll remember to get around to it this week.

I've been really into vinyl me please lately. So if you are thinking of signing up you can use my link below and we'll both get $10 off.
