It's all pretty simple really...either a home is found for metal work, masters etc - and we should be very thankful that the Universal stuff is going to LOC - or, as happened over and over again, the accountants decree that the stuff goes to the tip. And it's theirs and they can do that. That's exactly what happened to the Decca archive in England when the company was taken over by Polygram. Everything was thrown out. An even more enormous problem looms with the destruction of EMI. The vast archive at Hayes, outside London is unmatched, I believe by anything else in the world, including as it does all material from all the British labels controlled by EMI, dating back to before WWI and specimen copies of all of the recordings from labels like RCA that EMI released around the world. Under the present regime in Britain I see no hope for a rescue of this incredible collection.
