I'd hate to be the one that says, "What goes around, comes around" - but then again, I never care who I am.

I mean, does anyone else see the irony? People were up in arms and upset Frank went behind the cast's back to make a CD. (I'm not stating an opinion, this is what happened.)

Now this.

Is J&H still be released as scheduled?

J&H is supposed to be released in Korea?

As far as I know, anyway.

I've not heard about a Korean release. I have no additional information about the J&H Ress. CD but will assume it will release on its own.

Statement from Jeremy:

"unfortunately, release dates are probably going to move, again...

we are working with our distributor to make this happen -- our hands are tied on this somewhat complicated process.

I am not going to change the website dates until we have something firm. we expect to know the new dates momentarily.

Any site claiming that they can sell you a CD is making it up. the discs don't exist at this point...

HOWEVER -- if anyone has friends in Korea... a version of the Jekyll CD will be shipping On April 8, but ONLY in Korea. This will be a true collector's item. It will NOT be called "Resurrection" -- but the content is identical. "

Moon~ Thanks, but that statement was from march 30th, if I'm correct and prior to the Barbour situation. Still...it's a bit of a crap shoot to know if the one CD (J&H) will go as planned and when.

Thank you for pointing that out. I hadn't noticed the date. I know they were supposed to be released together, but why should this whole ordeal put off the J&H release?

No worries..I don't know that it will/wil not affect the release date. According to what Jeremy told me previously, the distributor(Koch) set up is a very big deal because it also encompases a European market strategedy. I assume they are working out what details they can with the given circumstances.

Why on earth does the James Barbour situation have any impact?

Its not exactly R Kelly and Michael Jackson- Its musical theatre!

People only buy these cds if they are interested in the show. Ok I am generalising here but anyone that really wanted this cd is not going to boycott because of allegations against one of the performers. Its not as if his name is going to be splashed all over the artwork etc. People who want to buy the cd because they are fans of Frank Wildhorn either in the USA or Europe or beyond are still going to pick it up because they want to hear his material- especially if they are intereted in doing a production of it...

Anyway the point is the delay is probably just like any other delay in this business. Something silly and not much to worry about.

^^^ I agree completely, but I'm sure the producers know what they're doing, whether we do or not.

Here is the issue, as I see it and I truly think any reputable company might view this situation also.

If I had a newly formed record company. Lots of money has been put up to form this company, like any other business. The last thing I want is to have my new venture/project get off on shakey ground or have any clients in question on my roster. As an agent, if one of my clients were accused of serious wrong doing and details were still "up in the air", and heavily publicized, I would immediately cease requests to book him/her. I would pull all advertising and marketing, regardless of any financial loss.

Represetation of clients becomes your reputation as a company. You simply can't take the risk. I know I wouldn't. Futhermore, if my client was in question or under investigation, I would expect him/her to accept my position and graciously step down as a mattter of professional ethics.

That's just how I run my business.

I truly respect your opinion Patti, and agree with some of your points. I guess nothing has been proven in a court of law, and there are many agents/companies that do stick by their clients through thick and thin. In this case, Frank and Jeremy may have a lot to lose, especially when the industry is fickle and not always respectful of them. However, this is a pop/cast album venture, not Sony or Miramax, and I still say put the album out. Of course, this is a fan who's been waiting for the album for way too long. We'll wait and see...

The actual court hearing may not take place for several months even a year if they decide to duke it out. So what to do?

These kinds of "things" take place everywhere. People are paid off to make things "go away", pushed under the rug and covered, etc. I'm not saying that has any bearing on this case. We don't know this case and likley may never know.

I can't /won't judge other people's decisions and business ethics. Here's hoping for the least painful outcome to a bad situation.

I hate to say this, but I will. Over the moon, I love your avatar. I am going to buy the CD as well. Its too bad that James is probably never going to want to meet another teenage girl again, I would love to see him in a show and get his autograph.

If Percy Blakeney were in Les Mis....

Percy: Sink me! If it isn't Javvurt!
Javert: Zsah-vair, it's pronounced Zsah-vair.
Pecry: But it's spelled J-A-V-E-R-T Javvurt.
Javert: Repeat after me Zsah...Zsah....
Percy: Oh! Zsa-Zsa! Like the Gabor sister! Well I personally have always prefered Eva.
Javert: (Looks for gun)

Yeah, I'm def. buying the CD. I can't stop listening to the clips. I'll probably buy J&H too. I love a good rock score. Is the news about James even know about overseas? It doesn't seem like its that big of news. I mean, I haven't heard about it anywhere but here.

I believe one is innocent until proven guilty, so I don't wish to comment on James Barbour's arrest, but has anyone noticed that if you do a search for him on Broadwayworld, neither the article nor the thread on his arrest come up? A little censoring maybe??
