Subject: RE: Bright Phoebus reissued
I just wonder whether Domino tried to buy the rights from Celtic - if so how hard did they try?

And when they found their "best offer" wasn't enough, did they think it was OK to just go ahead anyway, hoping nobody would make a fuss.

Which makes me think that - long before Domino - if it was so important to get these albums released, why didn't someone offer Celtic enough money to obtain the rights - even if they knew it wasn't commercially viable, as presumably Celtic believed.

That all tells me that, in theory, lots of people were in high dudgeon about the situation, but nobody tried to get enough people to put their hands in their pocket to correct it. Instead they just railed over Celtic refusing to invest in a project that would be sure to lose money.

All very folkie........
