Ninja Signed To Retrospect?


Axe Attack

Recommended Posts

Cool eh? Let me tell you the story. I announced a couple of months ago that Wild August had signed with Retrospect for a 2 album deal. Well , turns out the 2 lead singers for Wild August....Sullivan Bigg and Danny Stanton both have albums with other projects which I promptly licensed.

 

Danny had 2 albums with Ninja.

 

Sullivan had his own solo album.

 

What's also interesting is that Sullivan and Danny both have big booking agencies on opposite sides of the country.

I think we'll find a lot of new Retrospect releases silver-pressed now that I have worked out an amazing deal with a company here in the U.S.

 

So , my first reaction to that question is yes , Wild August will be silver and so will Ninja as well as most of the new Retrospect releases.

 

 

 

P.S. By the way David , thanks for talking so much shit about my company to SMASH L.A. , it really turned them off of SunCity and right into a contract with Retrospect. Keep up the good work.

Sam,

 

I only speak the truth mate!! You got any facts to back that up??

 

Smash L.A. asked me about your label and I gave them nothing but truth. I've told you the situation, Suncity Records only releases albums when we can track down the original masters and unfortunatly Smash L.A. only had media of their cassette tape. Shame, because their album is nice.

 

Kind regards

Dave

Well , David I guess 'the truth' set you and SunCity free.......free of getting the contract with Smash L.A.

 

....and they told me that you were perfectly prepared to release their album FROM YOUR CASSETTE TRANSFER 'REMASTERING' job.

 

So don't spew your bullshit David , you lost out because you have 5 releases compared to the 140+ that I have.

 

That speaks louder than any crap you spread about me to other bands , not to mention that your conduct is extremely unprofessional.

 

At least Smash L.A. will now see a release date BEFORE December 2007.

Haha,

 

Sam, one thing I am strong about is that we "Suncity Records" ONLY release albums that have come from the original masters. We certainly don't do any cassette/L.P. transferrs at all. I'm not the one spewing shit, either you or Smash L.A. are. Bands will say anything to sell their product, don't you understand that?? I can't really respect anything you say anymore considering you believe everything that comes from Lynn Edward Glezens lying mouth!! You're a joker Sam!

 

Kind regards

Dave

Sam,

 

They may have said that I talked down about Retrospect Records, but they did ask me my opinion on your label and I gave them the truth. The truth about Retospect Records isn't pretty, is it Sam?? but I can't be to blame because of that.

 

You know what they say, the truth sometimes hurts.

 

Kind regards

And what's the truth David?

 

That I have released 50 albums for every one album you have?

That I am getting over 100,000 hits a month on the website?

That I pay more royalties that any other label?

That stores all over the world are buying Retrospect cd's?

That Radio stations in 16 different countries are playing Retrospect artists?

That I can release a cd within 2 months of announcing a signing?

That I am the largest re-issue label in the world?

 

All of those are FACTS. Now what's your resume looking like David?

 

Cuz I can smell it from here in Las Vegas.....

    • Some of these I have touched on in the past, but not found myself desperate to explore more. For instance 8 have hardline eclipse and also II. But that's it  Same with a few others on the list, I may have an album. So I guess I really want another Tyketto where the whole catalogue is great. If any on the list fit that bill. In the past I tried out Alfo November. The one with a brick wall in it?, Lillian Axe and a Loudness. Maybe I need to try them again. I purposefully left some off, like Vibbie Vincent Invasion because of the screechy vocals. I guess I always put Mark Free in that group as well.
    • Doesn't sound like Sweet at all but I kinda like it actually.
    • From your list and what hasn't been mentioned ,Sleeze Beez -Screwed,Blued & Tattooed and their Powertool album  ,Bezerk by Tigertailz , first two Lillian Axe , Baton Rouge - Shale Your Soul...all particular favs of mine,I have  a soft spot for Loudness - Thunder In The East also,dunno if you have Master Of Disguise from Lizzy Borden but it would be my fav by them....to be honest most of the artists on that  list I like though 
    • New song 'Burning Like A Falling Star' from the forthcoming album 'Full Circle'.    
    • Well, the first two "Giant" albums are quintessential, as is the "Hardline" debut. Akdo Nova's "Blood on the Bricks" is one of my all time favourites, Lizzy Borden is awesome as is the Mark/Marcie Free fronted "King Kobra".  
    • So some may remember that Tyketto toured recently and aside from Forever Young, I never delved into this band. So I did, so I'd know the songs in concert and was blown away. A great band with an awesome catalog that I had missed out on. To be fair, in the 80's it was a lot harder to access and find out about a lot of the more fringe bands, that's my excuse anyway. So I now am faced with digging deeper into some other bands I've overlooked. Some of these I gave a go, and wasn't really impressed, but now I'm starting fresh with an open mind. So below is a list of bands I have eitehr never bothered with, or never really gave a proper go. Lizzy Borden is on the list and I have done a bit of their stuff and like it a lot, so I will definately dig deeper into them (I've got some older stuff and some newer stuff, but have skipped quite a few albums) But the others, fire away, tell me which bands have killer material that I'll froth and how stppid I've been to skip them. Aldo Nova Badlands Baby Tango Baton Rouge Black N Blue Britney Fox BulletBoys DAD Giant Hanoi Rocks Hardline Jetboy King Kobra Kingdom Come Lillian Axe Lizzy Borden Loudness Love Hate Quireboys Saigon Kick Santa Cruz Shotgun Messiah SleezeBeez SouthGang Tiger Tailz TNT Vain White Tiger  
    • New song 'Chase The Sun'.    
    • Super Sabre - Sugar and Spice *This is actually a full album, “Chasing the Rabbit”, with a complete band backstory included in the YT description. “Sugar and Spice” is the opening track…
