Thanks for posting that. The dollar amounts involved seem pitifully small, but I haven't seen the balance sheets.

I have good news. "THE RETURN OF REFERENCE RECORDINGS" August 12, 2005 For Immediate Release THE RETURN OF REFERENCE RECORDINGS! Reference Recordings is pleased to announce that, after a long and costly legal battle, we have won our lawsuit and are now separated completely from The Dorian Group. All assets and rights to the label and catalogue have been returned to us. Plans are under way to re-establish RR in the music marketplace by early October, 2005. RR has just signed an exclusive distribution agreement for the United States and Canada with Allegro Corporation and Allegro Entertainment Canada Ltd., of Portland, Oregon. Allegro distributed RR prior to the failed merger with The Dorian Group. RR is now reconnecting with its network of international distributors in more than 25 countries, and looks forward to resuming these excellent business relationships. Export sales will begin in October. RR's most recent releases (below) will be re-promoted in an ambitious program by Allegro in the Fall, and review copies will be available to all publications by request. New releases will begin in January, 2006, starting with "Five O'Clock Foxtrot", a collection of orchestral music by Maurice Ravel, with Eiji Oue and the Minnesota Orchestra. 2006 will mark the 30th Anniversary year of Reference Recordings. Our multi-Grammy awarded and nominated label remains completely dedicated to the highest standards of recording art and technology.
