Death Row Records Bought By One Of Three Global Music Groups
1:40 AM on Thu Jun 26 2008 by anthonyjmiccio
The rights to Death Row Records, which were auctioned off after Suge Knight’s bankruptcy, were purchased by Susan Berg of the Global Music Group, according to TMZ. And what is the Global Music Group again? Well, there are currently two Web sites bearing said name. One is a French label that releases techno albums, so we can assume it’s not owned by former esthetician Susan Berg. The other’s rather low-rent site opens with “CONGRADULATIONS!!! DEATH ROW RECORDS was acquired today by GLOBAL MUSIC GROUP for $25 million dollars. GLOBAL MUSIC GROUP, A MULTI GENRE LABEL WITH OVER 30 YEARS IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS.” So we can assume that we should be giving “congrads” to this company. But how could a company with $25 million to burn also be the home of Davey Johnson, best known for touring as Frankie Goes To Hollywood and falsely claiming to be Holly Johnson’s brother? Questions, questions.

R. Todd Neilson, who’s overseeing the Chapter 11 proceedings for the label that’s still home to certain master tapes by marquee names like Snoop Dogg, has asked the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Los Angeles to put everything Death Row has left on the auction block, and though you’ll need to be able to match the $25 million Warner Music Group has already offered, just look at what you’ll win if you can find an extra million hiding under the couch.
