RE: RE: Time to review 90s Rock albums (nsc)

The thing is, ABKCO did the suing on that one. The Verve ripped off the arrangement of The Last Time on the Aranbee Pop Symphony album which is a bunch of orchestral versions of Stones songs. This video here shows exactly what they did, and you've got to wonder how they couldn't have thought they had to credit someone there. The Verve thought they could use some of the song with ABKCO's permission, but they made their whole song a complete rip of the Aranbee Pop Symphony song. The result of the suit is that Mick and Keith got songwriting credit and ABKCO got a big, fat check (Mick and Keith probably got one, too).

Now, I'm not gonna say Mick and Keith didn't rip this idea from The Staples Singers' version, but if you listen to what The Verve did and compare it to what The Stones did with The Staples Singers' song, I don't think you'll wonder why no big deal was made against The Stones but The Verve had a lawsuit.
