hi all, i just wanna know what the deal is will all there publishing companys music for money inhouse music jimmy fun music gessle music hip happy music roxette recordings elavator entertainment cmon tev, whats the deal?

:) I don’t know.
But I do know that most are shut down. The original plan I think was to have a different publishing company for different things, like one for GT, one for Rox etc.
Now he has only Jimmy Fun and Roxette Recordings (together with Marie?) as far as I know. HipHappy etc. are closed.
Elevator Entertainment is his record label, like Fundamental used to be. It’s also closed as far as I know.

you have to remeber too if a publishing outlet doesn’t generate revenue after a period a record companys shutters them or mergers them. The new owner of emi has signaled he wants to push emi’s publishing catalouge over developing new artists and he also wants to isloate some underselling artists to their domestic markets. So it kinda makes sense to have maybe only one roxette publishing company and one lable for per, which unless i am wrong emi is contractually obligated to maintain

OK, you stirred Per’s interest and here’s his comment:
This is the story:
I have two publishing companies: JIMMY FUN MUSIC & HIP HAPPY.
SHOCK THE MUSIC is a publishing company owned by Marie F.
INHOUSE MUSIC was EMI Sweden’s publishing company, nowadays it is merged into the big balloon called EMI MUSIC PUBLISHING.
MUSIC FOR MONEY has never been a publishing company (a publishing company owns the rights to the songs, not to the actual recordings!!!). MUSIC FOR MONEY has changed name and become ELEVATOR ENTERTAINMENT and owns for instance the master tapes (the recordings) of Mazarin and Finn 5 fel! and Son of a Plum and The World According to... and En händig man and Helena’s first solo album etc. etc. EMI has licensed these rights to be able to release the records officially.
GESSLE MUSIC was a publishing company but it doesn’t exist any more. All these songs (for instance Gå & fiska!) are nowadays published by JIMMY FUN.
ROXETTE RECORDINGS, owned jointly by Marie & myself, is a company who controls the rights to Roxette’s master tapes & recordings. EMI (and other record companies) license these rights to release the records and downloads.
That’s the deal.
Cheers,
P

Thanx Mr T for transcripting Mr Gee.
I have one question left:
When is it that Jimmy Fun Music is on and when Hip Happy? Is it because the languages of the songs or there’s another reason that’s related to economics? Or is it randomly?
Thank you so much!

Wow, what a service! Thanx Mr G and Mr T
Is this thread going to be some kind of “Ask Per”-thread? If so, maybe he could tell us the exact release date of the TWATG album? Provided that the date is already known.... Thanx in advance ;-)

I know that it’s a little off topic but why Per isn’t writing anymore on his blogg? I know it’s not the comments there because they are positive, so?...
Kerstin said on March 8, 2008 21:24:
@Roxryder
Try not to take everything as serious as it seems. Have some fun instead ;-)
My comment was more on the funny side. When writing, I didn’t really (and still don’t) expect to seriously get an answer. So just take it easy, ok?

Wow konstpaus, a reply straight from PG himself!!
Given what Per has said, it seems that PG/Rox can license their songs to any record company they want. I’m guessing it depends on who gives them the best deal. Up to now it looks like EMI is the one who they are most comfortable with, or they have a deal of some sort that EMI gets exclusive rights.
I wonder if any other companies have been approached?
konstpaus said on March 9, 2008 08:02:
well why we r on the topic why scrap fundimental???? i like the big sperm logo!!!!!!

CRIZ said on March 9, 2008 12:51:
@konstpaus: WOW! Thanx for this good question! I was wondering too...
Thanx Thomas and Per for this quick answering service.
I miss the “Ask Per” section but I understand that it must be annoying to get millions of eeehm..rather strange questions...
tevensso (moderator) said on March 9, 2008 17:15:
Per comments again:
FUNDAMENTAL couldn’t be called FUNDAMENTAL because there’s an English record company called just that (I wasn’t aware of this in time for printing the sleeve or creating the sperm logo...)
FUNDAMENTAL became GESSLE RECORDS which doesn’t exist anymore. Nowadays these rights belong to ELEVATOR.
ROXETTE PRODUCTIONS is responsible for tours, merchandise etc.
HAPPY ACCIDENT was another publishing company (R.I.P.). Its catalogue is now controlled by the ever glowing JIMMY FUN.
TOM BONE is a publishing company partly owned by me. TB works with other artists, The Sounds etc and is run by small town genius Lars Ewald. Check out their thrilling website.

Thanks Per and thanks Tev for clarifying that.
Out of curiosity, Tev, can I ask whom approached whom for those comments?
CRIZ said on March 9, 2008 18:04:
Oj...as long as the master himself still gets thru this little “chaos” everything is alright! :)
So Per is also creating the logos himself? I really like the Roxette recording- Harley logo and I’m wondering if this person in the logo of Elevation enternainment is a real excisting one or just a “made up” person. :)
...a pill for HipHappy, a volume button for Jimmy Fun....very interesting creative details..
tevensso (moderator) said on March 9, 2008 18:15:
Per tells me when he wants to comment something. Guess he’s bored huh! :)
CRIZ said on March 9, 2008 18:25:
...hahaa. Maybe! .Nice to know that also the artists might feel bored sometimes and not only we fans....
Big Brother is still watching us.. ;)
Well, he can maybe continue writing in his blog ...I also miss his funny photos.
crashroxer said on March 9, 2008 18:36:
Hej Per, you are the KING!!!!! We are waiting for some new stuff :-)

WOW I’m shoked!!! That’s very nice of Per to give his comments, really nice!!!
konstpaus said on March 10, 2008 00:31:
2 replys???? DOUBLE RESPECT!!!!!!!!! am i special????
brad australia
P.S. i wonder how per decides which songs are copy-writed to wich companys??? for example
room service lp. some hip happy some jimmy fun and little girl marie wrote so thats shock the music. maybe all the hip happy are songs that wernt used for HAND coz i think thats all hip happy.
strange and interesting
AURYTE said on March 11, 2008 06:33:
I’m also impressed for Per’s comments :) He is watching us, so behave nice!
And I agree with Criz. Per, if you are a bit bored now or have a little extra time, so, could you continue with your blog? And as you see, konstpaus has more questions :)

WOW! this is pretty cool!! I’ve only just gone on to this thread and to see a couple of replies from Tev on behalf of Per is pretty cool!! Nice to know that he still checks in occasionally!!
roxju said on April 13, 2008 00:58:
hey Per! i did not know that you like checking this place full of hungry fans, i think we should not make some many questions, there must be thousands of people like us asking him different questions, maybe it does not have so much time cos he’s writing some songs...isn’t you per????? ups ok sorry i asked you a question, but we all know(including you and marie) that the REAL QUESTION of all time would go: What will happen with Roxette this year? just try to answer this Per, we’ll appreciate that..cheers from Argentina.
