well it seems that 'Larry' seems very well informed, or should i say ill-informed when it comes to this subject... and is certainly going out of his way to spread more desperate rubbish when it comes to 'moochin' about' which i own and always have done...
moochin' about was registered by me, under my name back in 2011 and copyrighted as a trademark... so it is not 'co-owned' as you seem to think...
i'll never contest that mr selwyn 'larry' harris was involved and i was really glad of his input when i asked him if i could base the boxsets on his 'jazz on film' page and use his pages he'd already written as text for the booklets... but as someone i thought was a very good friend at the time for nearly 15 years, i unfortunately made the worst mistakes of my life by setting up a limited company and allowing him, by accident to have shares in the company... a company i put in 100% of the money...
and after a turbulant 2 years working with mr harris and in my personal life, his ego got the better of him and he decided to try and steal my idea/concept whatever you want to call it from me... after a discussion, (unfortunately in a pub..) we made an agreement, if he left the company he'd not copy the idea and call it something completely different... but, he didn't keep to that promise and copied the template down to a tee... so when the 3rd moochin about release came out with an identical cover (a cover that was decided on 8 months before these releases came out...) emails started flying out to shops, desperately trying to limit the moochin' about release, calling it illegal and that it was passing itself off as mr harris's box set... when all moochin was doing is releasing the planned 3rd cd it had invested in...
so 'larry', as i'm sure your aware of its been downhill from there really hasn't it... ?
even stooping to new lows by even sending disgusting, slanderous letters,trying to break up my new family out of spite, by him and his delightful girlfriend...
as for the limited company was dissolved in september because NO tax returns were done in the 2 years of trading by the in house accountant at the time....errm, what was his name again...?
so, i guess by seeing this quote by 'LARRY', there's going to be no end to it... moochin about wants to leave everything in the past and continue with its 4 planned releases this year, but when lies continue, its hard to ignore... and as for you 'LARRY', as you know so much, you'll remember that over generous friend mr harris (who never seems to appear under his own name for some cowardly reason..) used to have and if it wasn't for him, he'd have no box sets to lay claim too... !
and just to let you know mike and everyone who still cares about all this pathetic argument .. 'jazz on film records' has only released one cd so far ok... moochin about has 5 cds out at the moment,soon to be 6... just check the moochin about website... the chet baker~italian movies has just received a decent review in the observer... the new wave wasn't sent out as it would of been a waste of time as mr harris managed to get his slightly similar product out with an identical cover out a month before... so nobody would of reviewed something as similar...despite having 6 more new wave soundtracks on...
its a sorry state this has to be played out in public and i can only apologise.. but i hope you find some honest answers here and not desperate and egotistical lies from 'LARRY'...
and "LARRY', if you want proof on everything i've written above, you know where to get me... i'm always happy to discuss matters further... and if you bump in to mr harris, give him my best wishes and to keep up the good work...!
