Has there ever been a bigger screw job in the history of music?
Man, their have been so many artists fricked over by record companies, publishing companies... and they never received a red cent and didnt have a pot to piss in before or after their music careers...
The members of the Verve are probably doing OK..
All that said, I agree it was a pretty shitty thing to do By the stones group... I can understand maybe getting a piece, similar to Chuck berry and The Beach Boys for Surfin USA (Sweet Little Sixteen)

Well, sure. Bittersweet Symphony wasn't the only great song they made. Urban Hymns sold ten million albums -- and deservedly so, as it is an absolutely fantastic album -- and I imagine that was enough to steer them clear of the local unemployment services office.
But that doesn't make it any less of a screw job. Bittersweet Symphony was an absolute cash cow for the slimy bag of shite Allen Klein. Not just the royalties -- which were substantial -- but advertising revenue, revenue from placement in movies, etc.
Basically, Ashcroft would have Oasis-type money if he hadn't gotten the Dick Sandwich on Bittersweet Symphony.

Lucky man is a better song that Bittersweet Symphony anyway.
