As a documented child abuser, Gary Glitter should not be included here, very distasteful.

Trouble is it’s a slippery road to ban/ cancel some things / people and their products, who decides, and what criteria do you apply?
Frankly agree re Gadd total slime ball character imho, but I believe he is currently still in prison and rightfully so. But it should be up to individuals to decide if they still want to listen.
The list of music and art etc to ban would be way to big if cancel culture ruled. I note Glitter’s material is still on Qobuz.

In a case like this… There is nothing to discuss. End of discussion.
So should any discussion of Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) or, allegedly, David Bowie be banned for the same reason?
And back to the music ………

As I scroll down this thread, the catalogue of music is really something, but a fair number of the album covers are also art in their own right. I’m going to break out some vinyl….

Nick Drake was a troubled soul, who died a sad death (the coroner unable to establish whether or not his overdose was accidental). His contract with Island Records stipulated that his records would never be dropped from the label’s catalogue.
His gorgeous older sister, Gabrielle, appeared wearing a purple wig in an old TV series ‘UFO’. Later, she was a Scandinavian girl in a soft porn film ‘The Au Pair Girls’, in which she contrived to lose her bright red dress in a hay loft and fall into a trough, exposing a magnificent unshaved pubic area.
Those were the days!

No it didn’t. It was down to Chris Blackwell’s goodwill and his sell out deal with Phonogram.

I have read a number of times that this was a stipulation in his Island contract, but I haven’t seen the contract. Have you?
You seem to enjoy challenging what people write on these pages.
I have no idea about any ‘sell out deal’.

Common sense (sadly lacking nowadays) suggests that a very minor artist like Nick D at the time was not going to be able to negotiate such a perpetual clause - how could he - why would any record company agree to such a stipulation.
Cally (Julian Cope’s manager when JC was signed to Island and later Island Records person) is on record as saying it was the goodwill of Chris Blackwell that Nick D and Sandy Denny albums would remain in print. Also, he says when Chris Blackwell sold out to Phonogram he had a legal say in which artists material would be deleted.
