Talk:Black Tie White Noise

message: I've been listening to the album, and I believe that many of the songs are better described as Rock/New jack swing/Funk than Rock/Electronic/Dance.
When I first heard the album's songs, they seemed very similar to those on Control and Dangerous.
Can anyone explain to me why New jack swing is not mentioned anywhere in the article?--Mαuri’96  “...over the Borderline” 18:49, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I think we'd need some published article that says so to add it. Changing genre's seems to be a touchy thing. I'm for it if there's proof to back it up! 87Fan (talk) 04:34, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

message: There's nothing much about Savage Records in this write up about Black Tie White Noise. I thought it would be more prominent in the article with some people at the time pointing to the troubles at Savage to why the album wasn't a big hit in the USA....
Info about Savage...
"David Mimran's Savage Records (known for British band Soho and their Smiths-sampling indie-dance hit "Hippychick" in 1991)https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/24732/soho/https://www.songfacts.com/facts/soho/hippychick was set up by the Swiss teenager in 1986 and funded by his multi-millionaire father. Due to the almost endless financing of his father and the fact their A&R manager (a Swiss record shop owner called Bernard Fanin) had industry experience, the label managed to make it into the 1990s with a number of dance and hip-hop hits by artists such as Silver Bullet and A Homeboy, Hippy and A Funky Dread (issued on Savage's Tam Tam dance label).https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/28417/a-homeboy-a-hippie-and-a-funki-dredd/https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/25625/silver-bullet/ Around the time Soho had their top ten UK hit,https://www.sohopopgroup.com/abouthttps://www.songfacts.com/facts/soho/hippychickhttp://www.clockworkthrob.com/Soho_Story.html Mimran decided that Savage would not just be a British indie, but would be an American major instead. Savage Records went on a spending spree in America, which resulted in them opening plush offices on Broadway, hiring Michael Jackson's manager Frank DiLeo and signing David Bowie to a massive $3.4 million record deal, all which ended when Mimran's father, Jean Claude, cut finances."https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/rock-a-close-shave-and-no-cash-back-when-david-bowie-signed-to-savage-he-took-a-long-shot-and-missed-1492135.htmlhttps://variety.com/1993/music/news/savage-has-gone-silent-107368/https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/6843757/david-bowie-businessman-deep-dive-visionary-dealmakinghttp://www.mtv.com/news/1426406/no-appeal-for-savagebowie-lawsuit/  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.154.173.247 (talk) 18:12, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Savage Records harming the success of the album in the USA? 

message: In the notes under the track listing, the following is stated:
* Nile Rodgers was not given a co-writing credit for "Looking for Lester" on the original 1993 release, but his credit was added on the 2003 reissue.
This is not entirely true. While Rodgers' credit IS missing from the track listing, the credit IS given in the publishing attributions. It reads (from my 1993 Savage CD):
* Looking For Lester (Bowie/Rodgers) Tintoretto Music BMI/Tommy Jymi, Inc. BMI
Unsure if anybody wants to change this... Robbmonster (talk) 06:18, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
