‘Queen SongShares’ Offers Fans and Investors a Percentage of Royalties From Several of the Group’s Songs
variety.comJem Aswad Executive Editor, Music SongVest, a company that enables fans and investors to purchase fractional shares of music royalties, is opening the reservation period for “Queen SongShares.” From today (Nov.
21) through Thursday, Dec. 5 at 8 p.m. ET, fans can reserve SongShares in four Queen tracks — “Under Pressure,” “It’s A Kind of Magic,” “I Want It All,” and “The Show Must Go On” — as well as the “Bohemian Rhapsody” film soundtrack.
While the group recently sold the rights to their music catalog, along with various other rights, to Sony Music for more than $1 billion, the royalties in question here are from the estate of their late co-producer David Richards, who also worked with David Bowie, Duran Duran, Iggy Pop and others.
Each reservation includes a digital and physical SongShare certificate of authenticity, a limited-edition challenge coin, and a 7” display-only commemorative vinyl.
