BBC Worldwide signs deal for Universal Music television content

BBC Worldwide's push into music programming given boost by deal, which includes Rolling Stones documentary

BBC Worldwide's push into selling more music programming has been given another boost with the signing of a new long-term deal to distribute all Universal Music's television content.

The BBC's commercial arm has also secured the international distribution to a new documentary about the making of the Rolling Stones' 1972 album Exile on Main St, which features new interviews with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.

Under the terms of the Universal contract, BBC Worldwide will sell new television shows from Universal Music along with content from a "selection of international artists signed through Universal Music Group International".

The deal was announced yesterday at international sales market BBC Showcase in Brighton, which featured a performance by Universal artists the Sugababes.

Stephen Davies, the director of BBC Worldwide Audio & Music, said: "We are proud to become distribution partner with the world's biggest record label and are delighted to be representing such a great roster of artists.

"This deal further strengthens our relationship with Universal and, with its promise of more great programming, will take BBC Worldwide Music to a new level as a major music distributor."

Exile on Main St is directed by Stephen Kijak and features the story behind the making of the sprawling double album, which was recorded over several years, including a period in mid 1971 when the Stones decamped to a chateau near Nice in southern France for tax reasons.

The Guardian

Wonder if this'll be included in the 'Exile' re-issue, or if it's something else altogether...

I think it's safe to say that the Stones have pulled the cord on their golden parachute. A new distribution deal, the release of extended versions of Ya-Yas and now Exile, new film deals. They are starting to slowly dip into the vaults. It's all good. I just hope there is at least one more tour in them yet. What does Ian Billian have to say about this?

I would be quite surprised if this documentary is NOT included in the reissue. Would seem a bit pointless from Universal's perspective to have a documentary put together at this point in time for this record and then not include it with a deluxe reissue thats been already delayed specifically so that bonus content can be included.

Tseverin on IORR has posted something else today which would probably tie in with this.
(I've known the guy for years and don't doubt him for a second)

I am doing a freelance job at the BBC today and managed to just miss seeing a dvd being dubbed called, wait for it 'Exile On Main Street cut 31 V2'!

My colleague did the job but didn't monitor it so couldn't tell me what was on it. I tried my luck and phoned the production person on the jobsheet & asked if I could borrow a copy to watch. She was very friendly and said all the copies were being picked up by courier shortly but that she would put aside a finished copy for me. Apparently an independent company is putting together various cuts of it to show Alan Yentob and he will decide whether or not to commission it, probably for BBC4. This is exciting and suggests either that it is the rumoured dvd that might accompany the Deluxe reissue in april/may or it is a separate documentary, perhaps to coincide with the release...

If I am lucky and this production woman is true to her word I should get an early copy in a few weeks and will report back with more info then.

For those who dont know who Alan Yentob is, he's the BBC's Creative Director.

From Stephen Kijak's official website -
http://www.stephenkijak.com/bio.htm

"He is currently in post-production on a documentary commissioned by The Rolling Stones about the making of their 1972 classic album "Exile on Main Street."

As Posted on IORR:

[www.rollingstone.com]

The Rolling Stones’ classic Exile in Main Street — one of Rolling Stone’s highest-ranking Greatest Albums of All Time — is returning as a very special reissue. On May 18th, Universal Music Group is re-releasing the album with 10 never-before-heard tracks, including “Plundered My Soul,” “Dancing in the Light,” “Following the River” and “Pass the Wine,” that were produced by Jimmy Miller, the Glimmer Twins and Don Was. The disc also features alternate versions of “Soul Survivor” and “Loving Cup.”

Mick Jagger tells Rolling Stone when the record company asked him to dive in his files for possible bonus songs, he initially believed the band had used all they’d written on the 1972 double album (read RS’s original review). “I went back in the archives and dug out a load of things,” he says. “I added some percussion and some vocals. Keith put guitar on one or two.” Jagger wrote fresh lyrics for “Following the River,” but other than some light revisions to the other songs, “I really wanted to leave them pretty much as they were,” Keith Richards says. “I didn’t want to interfere with the Bible, you know. They still had that great basement sound.”

The intimate Rolling Stones: photos from the band’s 1969 tour.

A deluxe edition of the reissue will also include Stones in Exile, a documentary directed by Stephen Kijak that tracks the making of Exile, along with footage from @#$%& Blues and Ladies and Gentlemen… the Rolling Stones. After seeing the Exile film for the first time recently, Richards says, “I must not have noticed all the cameramen while I was making the record. I was amazed at how much footage they actually found.”

The Exile on Main Street reissue will be sold a CD featuring the original 18 tracks or as a deluxe CD edition with the 10 bonus tracks. The super deluxe package includes vinyl, the 30-minute documentary DVD and a 50-page collector’s book with photos from the Exile era.

Hmm... I'm not thrilled with the idea of splashing extra dosh for a 30-minute documentary to be honest.

It'll be the regular deluxe edition for me.
