[edit] Contract

Tom,

How come you removed the line about Cohen not being under contract with Columbia at the time? I have been trying to remember the source, and I think it might be The Complete Guide to the Music of Leonard Cohen by Maurice Ratcliff. – Hattrem 03:53, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

I'll check it - as far I know, Cohen told that he NEVER lost the contract with Columbia and it was never questioned, although all was thinking that when DOALM was released at Spector's Warner. In any case, Columbia/Sony released VP in Europe, and I know for sure that Cohen did not know they will not put the album out - he discovered that *after* his talk to that guy, while he was browsing thru the catalogue of Columbia's forthcoming releases and didn't find his record.Tomsak 14:52, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Nadel doesn't mention any problems with contract, he only says that Cohen recorded the album for CBS in CBS's studio in NYC, and then they decided not to release it. (Also, he says Passport was sublabel of Jem Records). Tomsak 13:51, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Okay, thank you for checking it up. – Hattrem 16:35, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
