Re: getting permission from rick wright to record great gig in the sky

I'd contact the record label first. I'm not sure if the band themselves hold the rights to their songs

Re: getting permission from rick wright to record great gig in the sky

**recalling a golden moment from the archives......**

FWr: Well, there's an office address in England for his publishing company, but I don't know if that even works. Beyond that, I haven't a clue.

fixxlevy: A likely story. Admit it: You hide up a tree in his garden watching him and his loved ones with your nightvision goggles, Glenn Bloody Close.

FWr: fixxlevy--please check your private messages.

fixxlevy: I can't believe that you actually PM'd me to tell me off!
You do have a sense of humour after all!
