"Master rights' for covers?

[ncc1701]

Hey, can anyone explain to me what this means?NEW LISTING -- COVER ARRANGEMENTS of 1960s/1970s (even some early 80's) CLASSIC ROCK SONGS (with vocals -- no instrumentals) are needed by the Music Supervisor of a major cable TV series. It's a sophisticated comedy-drama about a Los Angeles writer who whose life is filled with raising his 13-year old daughter, ... yadda yadda yadda ... IMPORTANT!: MAKE SURE YOU OWN THE MASTER RIGHTS to your cover version of the song. . Et cetera. TAXI # Y080428RKThanks,Kathleen

Thanks, Tim. I'm not a Dispatch member so I don't typically keep up with that forum.But I'm seeing more and more listings come out as Dispatch first, then regular membership a week later. (Which is cool if you catch on, because that gives you a week's head start on new projects ...)Kathleen
