After reading Stiffed: A True Story of MCA, the Music Business and the Mafia it's evident that MCA was rotten to the fucking core and filled to the brim with scumbags. I came away wondering just what else Steve could have done that has never come to light that got him kicked to the curb. He was right at home in that fucking snakepit.
Steve became A&R Manager in '86 then before the year let out he's a tape jockey for some cheesy boutique label?
Maybe he tried to steal some Chess masters when he was working on the Chuck Berry stuff and pissed off Morris Levy.

I'll be damned, Steve finally name-dropped Sal Pisello and not surprisingly declared affection for Morris Levy.

Seeing Scorpio Music Distributors come up reminds me: Is there ANY explanation for how they resurfaced doing the same counterfeiting or what seems like the same shit and have been able to completely avoid any issues? Is it literally just that nobody bothers with the mob anymore or is there something else?

(Among numerous other places, I'm sure.)

(Among numerous other places, I'm sure.) Less that and more that I'm just curious if anyone's ever tried to pin the story down. WMG did sue them in 2013 over counterfeit Black Sabbath vinyl, but it was settled before discovery got going: www.courtlistener.com/docket/4353036/warner-music-group-corp-v-scorpio-music-inc/

I know it's a well-known tale, but seeing it written down never fails to bring me joy. This from Hobert Rowland in 1996 on the Buddy Holly / Picks debacle:

Is it possible that Steve was responsible for leaking some of the Buddy Holly stuff that's circulated on bootlegs over the years?

I think someone on here once said they remember seeing ads placed by STeVe for selling “rare” recordings in Goldmine and other collector magazines back in the late 80s/early 90s straight from the masters. I know I read that somewhere on the interwebs. I think STeVe is the source of many things floating around on the “collector’s market” of music.

This is what I heard. Of course, the story could be wrong.

Mullet Man got shitcanned so long ago. Good try, but the rhyme goes like this: Do [or "Oh, do"] you know the mullet man, The mullet man, the mullet man. Do you know the mullet man, Who got canned from MCA? Yes [or "Oh, yes"], I know the mullet man, The mullet man, the mullet man, Yes, I know the mullet man, Who got canned from MCA.
