Talk:Saul Zaentz

message: A recent editor has 1) removed the info about the lawsuits between Zaentz and Fogerty, and 2) added a bunch of puffery about how wonderful this man is.  Let's return it to NPOV --rogerd 21:44, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Let’s keep the SZ page about SZ. The John Fogerty material is duplicated on Fogerty’s Wikipedia page, which is where it belongs. There’s also a Fantasy Records page, and the history of the company including artists and their various feuds with management could go there. Please delete the paragraph in question - such statements as "Fogerty almost immediately re-signed with the label..." are Fogerty-oriented and have nothing to do with SZ.

message: I think any historical coverage of either Zaentz or Fogerty should refer to the dispute between them.  However, the celebrity-ness of the dispute has obscured many facts, and partisans seeking to benefit either side would do well to keep their emotions in check.  For instance, it is widely assumed that Fogerty lost all his rights and royalties from CCR due to some chicanery by the label.  Fogerty in fact never relinquished his writer royalties, and got rich as a result. Zaentz in turn obviously took a technical issue way too far, the "plagiarism" of The Old Man Down The Road/Run Through The Jungle. Blues and Jazz, the core of the Fantasy catalog, are overrun with unacknowledged rewrites and lifts from earlier material.
I have to side with Olompali, let's keep each bio page about the subject, and not drift off into gossipy celebrity warfare. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Seeker56 (talk • contribs) 19:59, August 31, 2006  (UTC)
:I have no disagreement with Seeker56's changes.  I don't know who you are talking about when you say "gossipy celebrity warfare", because all I did  was remove the stuff about being an "old fashioned hands-on producer", which is opinion, not fact, and restored the Fogerty/Zaentz dispute, which you added some good edits to.  So what do you mean when you say that you "side with Olompali"?  --rogerd 02:19, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

There seems no evidence that the brand was "unlicensed". In fact, it sounds like there was a marketing contract. Regardless, as it stands, this information is really irrelevant to Saul Zaentz.--Jack Upland (talk) 18:19, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
