Pavane,

Is that what happened? If so, who promised the artists this huge income? Was it the person with whom they originally signed their contracts - before their original labels went bust and Bulmer bought the rights?

At least the tapes still exist and didn't end up in a skip somewhere. As long as that is the case there is always a chance of a fair settlement - though I don't think the hate campaign against Bulmer makes that any more likely. If I was Bulmer I'd probably just say 'Sod it' and bin the lot.
