NEW YORK (CelebrityAccess) – Primary Wave Music, the leading independent publisher of iconic and legendary music in the world, announces today their acquisition of Jon Landau’s producer royalties and neighboring rights royalties. Terms of the deal will see the publishing giant acquire the legendary music producer and manager’s rights across his incomparable 55 years in music. As a producer, Landau has worked with artists including Bruce Springsteen and Jackson Browne.
Landau’s work as a music critic led him to his long-time relationship with Springsteen. In 1974, while writing for the Boston alt-weekly The Real Paper, he reviewed a performance by Springsteen, declaring that night, “I saw rock and roll future, and its name is Bruce Springsteen.” He began working with Springsteen the following year, co-producing Born To Run. His work on Born To Run solidified their relationship, which has been described as one of music history’s most successful and creative partnerships. Landau would go on to not only manage Springsteen but co-produce many of his critically acclaimed albums over the years, including The River, Darkness on the Edge of Town, The Promise, Born in the U.S.A., Live 1975-1985, Human Touch, Lucky Town and Tracks.
He worked with Browne on his fourth studio album, The Pretender. The album reached the Top 5 on the Billboard 200 chart, was nominated for a Grammy, has been certified multi-platinum, and was included on Rolling Stone’s “The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time” list.
Landau said of the deal, “I thank all at Primary Wave for recognizing my contributions over the last fifty years and look forward to having an ongoing and productive relationship with them.”
On behalf of Primary Wave, President of Global Synch Marty Silverstone said, “We’re honored to be partnering with Jon Landau and all of the legendary music he helped shape. He’s an influential figure in music, and we’re proud to welcome him to the Primary Wave family.”
David Simone and Winston Simone facilitated the transaction between Landau and Primary Wave Music.
