08 Aug 12 - 04:08 PM (#3387733) Subject: Origins: Mechanical licensing for Sydney Carter's From: Phil Cooper I could get the whole question in the subject line. Our Christmas group has recorded Sydney Carter's Every Star Shall Sing a Carol for a short recording. We are based in the US. I thought for sure the Harry Fox song search would have it in there. It was not. And I did put in the correct title. Does anyone know where I can get a mechanical license, applicable in the US for this song, so that Mr. Carter's estate can get it's proper due. We're talking a run of less than 500 copies probably, so tens of dollars are at stake. I'm more concerned about the principle of doing the right thing. Thanks. Phil Cooper |

Search under the name Sydney Carter because the song title is listed confusingly. I think the minimum purchase is 500 copies, so you're right that it will cost you tens of dollars.... -Joe Offer, Mudcat Archivist- (I changed the thread title so that it -almost- fits....) |

Odd that they also have a listing for "When I Need a Neighbor" in addition to the correct "When I Needed a Neighbor"; and I'm pretty sure "Bells of Norwich" and "Julian of Norwich" refer to the same song... |
