Not of new recordings, obviously. But one final greatest hits-unreleased songs type album ? Weren't there some songs Ed never wanted released for some reason or another ? If the rest of the guys have the rights, then they can now release them, right ? How does that work ?

Actually a greatest hits album is a band's legal way of fulfilling a record deal. The last record on any record deal is almost always a greatest hits compilation or a concert recording. I know this because I used to work in the music mfg industry.

So what if a band's record deal is for two albums? What's the "greatest hits" album going to be... an EP? happy.gif

I've seen that and those contracts never get to greatest hits as most bands who don't have a hit by their second album are dropped from the label or aren't resigned.



There are exceptions
