Yeah, I went and looked and saved an image for those who want to read it. Hardly putting anyone to task. In fact it makes one wonder what the hell the death of someone has to do with why people collect US vs British pressing?

Hey, let’s see if STeVe’s name turns up elsewhere in Billboard...

“Copyright Administration”...? Hmmmm.... Remember that Stereo Central thread about the Universal fire? in it, there is this quote: A friend just forwarded me an article from Andy Zax from 2014 that talks about the fire but also talks about a certain mastering engineer! So the article is about the loss of master tapes and industry indifference. www.andyzax.com/goodbyeThis is the interesting part: "You also don’t need to worry about losing tapes if you just let people steal them. The most notorious example of this is a legendary sociopath who worked for a big label and spent years pillaging its vault and stealing tapes. He stole multitrack session reels, hit singles, famous albums. Even, in some cases, entire artists’ catalogues. If I told you some of the things that this guy either had in his possession when he was finally caught or the things that were never recovered that he made off with and sold to private collectors, I guarantee that at least five people in this room would go into respiratory failure. The thing that got him caught was also the thing that kept him out of jail. In addition to tapes, he was stealing old artist contracts and selling them for big bucks. The label discovered the sales, and then the missing tapes, but if the guy had been arrested and charged, the company would have been inundated with artists or their estates trying to renegotiate their agreements from scratch because they knew the label no longer had paperwork to prove or enforce whatever contractual agreements had been in place. Dealing with this would have cost the company hundreds of millions of dollars--and probably the loss of some of their most valuable properties--so they made the decision to sweep everything discreetly under the rug. The guy was never arrested and continues to work in the music business to this day. Everyone loves a happy ending." I advised my friend that as of 2019 this guy isn't working anymore! Posting that link at SHite.TV would be a hell of a last post, I think! If STeVIE was working in “Copyright Administration” wouldn’t he have had access to the various contracts the label had? By bragging about HIS published letter (and sending audiopro into sleuth mode), it appears Hoffman inadvertently made Andy Zax’s account ring even truer. So, (insert Nelson Muntz voice here) HA, HA!

That’s a great post that fill in some gaps.
Would be interesting to know what else he got away with and sold to private collectors.

Steve really is the kid who lights a bag of shit on fire on your porch:
Couldn’t just post “Arthur Gunter Let’s Play House ‘54”. No,he knew exactly where this was gonna go.

Giddle in Liddypool. There needs to be a reference to Liddypool. Oh. Did you know STEVE's Mum was from ENGLAND? Yes. She was. Which means STEVE is connected to ENGLAND by birth. ENGLAND is the country in which the BEATLES were born. So STEVE is connected by birthright to the BEATLES. Was your Mum from ENGLAND? What's that? Oh, I see. Yeah, that's what I thought.
