.
last night PBS ran a show called "Inventing David Geffen" ....it alluded to an interesting interaction with NY ...ie: DG sued NY for not sounding like NY...

Who remembers the time when in 1985, Canadian folk-rocker Neil Young had gotten sued by Geffen Records for releasing "unrepresentative/uncommercial" albums, meaning, in other words, "music that was not typical of Neil Young and had lacked commercial appeal"?

His tenure at Geffen produced the following albums:
1982 - Trans (this album had a synthesized sound - with synthesizers, vocoders and synclaviers - typical of the New Wave sound then the norm of the 1980-1984 period)
1983 - Everybody's Rockin' (this album featured the hit single "Wonderin'", a throwback to the doo-wop sound of 1955-1959 and the rockabilly sound of 1950-1954 that dominated the rest of the album)
1985 - Old Ways (this album has a contemporary country sound to it)
1986 - Landing on Water (this album finds Young returning to the sound that made his 1982 release, Trans, as well as experimenting with other instruments)
1987 - Life (this contract-fulfilling album for the Geffen label reunited Young with his backing band, Crazy Horse)

Newly Remastered Joy Division Live at University of London Union Concert from Feb 8, 1980 -
From a casette tape recorded on a boombox - but a stunning cleanup of an audience recoding - sounds great now.

If you like their music - essential.
