Courtney Love Sues For Control Of Nirvana's Master Recordings
By Teri vanHorn - Oct 2 2001 www.mtv.comShe insists label band signed with no longer exists.
Courtney Love has struck again. The Hole singer has filed another lawsuit against Universal Music Group and remaining Nirvana members Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl, this time for control of Nirvana's master recordings.
Her suit, filed Friday in Superior Court in Los Angeles, claims that Geffen Records is not the same label Nirvana signed to in 1991, due to its acquisition by Vivendi Universal, and that therefore the band's contract is void. Love also alleges that Universal cheated Nirvana out of $3.1 million in royalties.
"In or about January 1999, ... Geffen, the unique entity with whom Nirvana had originally contracted, literally ceased to exist," the suit states. "With [Universal], Geffen's contractual obligations were purportedly assigned to Interscope, which had no rock expertise or commitment."
Love's suit is also filed on behalf of Frances Bean Cobain, her daughter with late Nirvana leader Kurt Cobain. She and Frances are the principal beneficiaries of Cobain's estate. read more from mtv.com...
