How much for Morrissey/The Smiths catalog??

At this point in time, I don't think that the catalog would get $10 million.

 

[The Seeker of Good Songs]

I don't think he'd ever sell.

The catalog is priceless.

The catalog is priceless.

bowies estate sold his for somewhere in the region of $200 million dollars yesterday so nothing is priceless.
i would tell M and marr to cash in now while they can still enjoy it.

Besides that to me and to most of us their songs are priceless,
I think that their catalogue is not under their control anymore, it is owned by Warner.
I think that also Morrissey before You Are The Quarry catalog is also owned by somebody else. EMI?

This is probably why we are facing so many meaningless compilations and re-issues in the recent years.

you would have to get someone really fredo ed up
to have them buy s sucky riff half for 10 quid

I don't think he can sell The Smiths back catalogue without agreeing it with Marr/Joyce. For his solo stuff, less than 10m

How many reissues has The Smiths had? And what would be the streaming revenue? Bearing in mind Morrissey's currently parlous position, I think this is a no-go

 

[Vegan Cro Spirit .777]

more typical kneejerk jerkisms from the s

is probably going Walter trying to find someone to buy but
Moz says NO

large living for Moz
selling youtube videos while in poverty for the lawnmowers

 

[TheSmiths_1985]

I’ll pay £15 for the rights to “Tony the Pony”, £25 if they throw in “Get Off the Stage”

 

[NealCassidy]

So it’s not all about the money when Duncan and model cash in

 

[SuedeMoz]

Is the valuing of an artist's catalog based mainly on record sales? If so, then I don't think it would sell for nearly as high as we're thinking. $10-$25 million? I honestly don't know...

The Smiths song catalogue still has marketable value, and I suspect will do for many years (it was only a couple of months back that 'Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want' was being featured in an TV advert). Given the complete lack of radio play or much other use, I suspect you could pick up Morrissey's entire solo catalogue right now for a couple of hundred quid?
