48MusicWeek 00.00.00 F ARCHIVE MUSIC WEEK November 20, 1999
HEADLINE NEWS Beggars Banquet has become the first UK record group to set a pan-continental CD dealer price in a bid to battle the influx of parallel imports. The new benchmark shaves nearly £1 off the dealer price of full-price CD albums (now £7.49) and more than 50p off mid-price (now £4.97) at current exchange rates. Beggars chairman Martin Mills says the move will help offset the downward pressure on prices from the internet and supermarkets.
ALSO Jive’s Britney Spears took home four gongs from the 1999 European MTV Music Awards at Dublin’s The Point last Thursday night. The US teenager thanked Zomba chairman and CEO Clive Calder and Swedish songwriter Max Martin who co-penned her record- breaking hit Baby One More Time. The celebrations carried on well into the night, where, according to Dooley, after-party guests consumed a grand total of 10,000 litres of Carlsberg and Guinness, 400 litres of Finlandia vodka and 350 litres of Jameson whiskey.
NEW RELEASES RECOMMENDED 20.11.99
LEN Steal My Sunshine PAUL BUNYAN Britten Single Of The Week is Len’s Steal My Sunshine. The “endlessly bouncy pop/hip-hop hybrid” is ‘moulded’ around an “inspired choice of sample” from The Andrea True Connection’s More More More. Britten: Paul Bunyan is Album Of The Week. Performed by the Royal Opera House orchestra conducted by Richard Hickox, the CD comprises a studio recording of the stage production of the tale of American lumberjack hero Paul Bunyan, sharing his vision of the great American dream.

What is the song you’re proudest of and why? I co-wrote Chasing Shadows for Michael Gray - I’ve always been such a huge fan of his. It’s a forthcoming release on Transmission Records and I’m the featured artist.
Which song do you wish you’d written and why? Kiss From A Rose - I love the atmosphere Seal creates by blending a medieval baroque sound with his soulful vocals. I think the metaphor of love bringing something back to life is great.
And the last song you wrote? Such A Fucking Lady for Dominique Young Unique.
