1
00:00:00.111 --> 00:00:04.912
The estate has just sold the entire Bowie catalog.
2
00:00:05.932 --> 00:00:12.994
Everything Bowie, from the birth of Bowie to the death of Bowie, to Warner Chapel music.
3
00:00:13.895 --> 00:00:18.836
And more significantly, they have also sold all of the masters.
4
00:00:19.056 --> 00:00:20.496
So everything is in one place.
5
00:00:20.856 --> 00:00:22.517
Everything Bowie is in one place.
6
00:00:23.257 --> 00:00:25.357
They have to just pick up the phone, call one person.
7
00:00:25.818 --> 00:00:27.518
They have to send one email.
8
00:00:28.909 --> 00:00:44.658
And they have negotiated over months and months and months how they would be involved in curating everything that War Music and War Chapel does with these properties forward with everything that they release here and after.
9
00:00:44.798 --> 00:00:45.318
That's major.
10
00:00:47.779 --> 00:00:58.245
So you can see now why they would not want to bless NFTs with authentic brands or anything else with authentic brands when they would like to have
11
00:01:00.318 --> 00:01:00.858
one place.
12
00:01:03.019 --> 00:01:07.220
That opportunity now presented to us, we have to act on and we jump on it.
13
00:01:09.181 --> 00:01:11.201
And I send emails, fire off the emails.
14
00:01:11.241 --> 00:01:23.865
As soon as I read this, I send emails off to Shel Tommy, the attorney, and a what up message to my buddy, Jamie Wood, who is the former manager of his dad, Ronnie Wood, of the Rolling Stones.
15
00:01:25.126 --> 00:01:27.666
And I say to Jamie, who do I reach out to at Warren Music?
16
00:01:27.767 --> 00:01:28.947
This is the response he sends.
17
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:29.920
Moot.
18
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:36.402
And here is Moot's press release to the BBC, Bowie meant to the music industry for him.
19
00:01:37.382 --> 00:01:40.003
So the door opens and off we go.
20
00:01:40.703 --> 00:01:43.424
So everything is in motion, but it's taking months.
21
00:01:43.484 --> 00:01:44.405
Executives are away.
22
00:01:44.445 --> 00:01:45.285
They're on holidays.
23
00:01:45.685 --> 00:01:46.725
Shell is getting antsy.
24
00:01:46.865 --> 00:01:47.766
I'm in Stockholm.
25
00:01:48.506 --> 00:01:50.066
The Rolling Stones are in Stockholm.
26
00:01:50.507 --> 00:01:51.647
Mick Jagger is there.
27
00:01:52.603 --> 00:01:53.984
And I come up with an idea.
28
00:01:54.044 --> 00:01:56.225
Why don't we talk to Mick Jagger about it, shall?
29
00:01:56.505 --> 00:01:59.527
And Shell goes, yeah, talk this done because this is taking too long.
30
00:02:00.088 --> 00:02:01.148
And I send them this email.
31
00:02:02.649 --> 00:02:05.411
And I said, this is what we have.
32
00:02:05.491 --> 00:02:06.832
This is what we'd like to share with you.
33
00:02:06.912 --> 00:02:08.253
We think we could do something with you.
34
00:02:09.013 --> 00:02:16.078
And the attorney says, you have to explicitly not tell them because it's confidential that we are in negotiations with Warner Music.
35
00:02:16.238 --> 00:02:19.780
You can say to them that Warner Music has heard the tracks.
36
00:02:21.163 --> 00:02:26.966
And you must never share the music with them, but you can play it for them in person in Stockholm.
37
00:02:28.067 --> 00:02:33.229
But Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones are working under COVID protocol because they don't want to get sick.
38
00:02:34.410 --> 00:02:35.130
They're on tour.
39
00:02:36.791 --> 00:02:37.371
You see this?
40
00:02:37.652 --> 00:02:39.513
Goggling in there with our masks on and everything.
41
00:02:40.373 --> 00:02:43.395
And the response we get is we can't accommodate you at this time.
42
00:02:43.815 --> 00:02:44.615
So that's that.
43
00:02:45.556 --> 00:02:48.577
The negotiations keep on going with Warner Music.
44
00:02:50.033 --> 00:02:57.590
David Jones to David Bowie's unreleased recordings on September 18th, 2026, when you can hear them.
