THE NEWS MEDIA -------------------------------1st. part----------------------------- S.O.S. TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: My name is JOSEPH FERRANTE. I am a musician. I am writing to inform you of a long history of efforts to block my musical career and take my ideas. It has now gone beyond the pale. Some time ago, while I was living in England, I was sent out to tune the ex-Beatle GEORGE HARRISON's piano several times. After five years in England I eventually went back to where I'd originally come from. There I made my own adaptation of the Beatles' "Hey Jude". I took the original song and re-worked it into a latin "Bachata", mixed with flamenco. I made a demonstration cassette of it and sent it to George Harrison. It came back to me stamped with a rude "by bike" in the place of the usual "Air mail" on the envelope. I phoned him to ask for an explanation but was told by his secretary that he did not want to come to the phone. Mr. Raul Cairo of the Dutch "Music and Media" magazine can testify to the quality of my arrangement of "Hey Jude", as he wrote an article about it in the same magazine. I tried sending demonstration cassettes of my version of "Hey Jude" to three record companies in Spain, and, some months later, a group called "Los Roling" came out with a flamenco rendition of Beatles music. Significantly, it was at the same time that Raul Cairo was writing up my "Hey Jude" in "Music and Media". After a Finnish promotional firm requested 28 CDs of the song for broadcasting on their radio chain throughout Europe the song began to get airplay. I was told by the firm that they were getting phone-in requests for the song at the stations and that it was being given a nice reception by radio listeners. Some ten days later the song disappeared off the air as though an invisible hand had stopped it. The Finnish promotional firm did not care to provide any explanation when I phoned up about it. Time went by and I made a "salsa" version of the Beatles' song "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". This time I sent demonstration cassettes to record companies outside Europe, including in New York. Some months later, a well-known latin entertainer got a salsa band together with performers from "Fania All Stars" among others, and released an L.P. of salsa-style Beatles music in New York. Time went by again, and it occurred to me that perhaps I could help get the Beatles back together again as a Beatles' music specialist myself and a professional musician in my own right. I faxed a proposal to that effect to George Harrison, one which he never answered. I did fax him several times again afterwards trying to set out my ideas about the Beatles revival venture, only to discover at one point that he had had his fax number changed. The international operator told me she couldn't give me the new number, as it was unlisted. About six months after the fax incident the first "Beatles Anthology" CD came out, after many, many years without a Beatles release. My idea. He took it and went ahead without me. Now I am back in England. I came back with 14 songs that I'd put together under the title "Shangri-La", hoping to get a record deal for it. Both "Hey Jude" and "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" were included in my production. There were also two other well-known songs in my own adapted version. The rest, the other ten songs, were all my own original compositions. Even though I am a Rock musician,"Shangri-La" is a multi-styled production. I took demonstration cassettes of "Shangri-La" to the ten major record companies in London. All ten were somehow mysteriously "mislaid". Representatives of the A&R departments concerned refused even to come to the phone to give me an explanation, delegating other people to take the call instead and tell me that they were still having trouble locating the cassette. All ten cassettes??...Isn't that a bit much to be a coincidence??... One of the other two items I'd re-worked for "Shangri-La" was "If I Had A Hammer". The rhythm and arrangements were all distinctly different in my version from the original song. One day, after having delivered my cassettes to the main record companies, I switched on the television, only to see the launch of a new programme featuring Trini Lopez's original "If I Had A Hammer" as the theme song...That was after my version of the long-forgotten song had been heard by the record companies. Again, after my cassettes had gone out to the record companies, a big night club that was owned by people who had links with the record industry started running a show they called "Shangri-La". They stole the name from my production. I ended up having to hire solicitors to get them to stop using the name, as I had already had it registered for musical purposes. During that same period I received dozens of nuisance calls on my mobile phone from people mocking me with taunts like: "Don't you have a record deal ?", or "Go find another country", or "I'm not hearing your songs on the radio"... Realizing that there must be a conspiracy against me I had promotional CDs pressed of "Hey Jude" and distributed them to 84 radio stations around England. After a couple weeks I had letters back from radio stations saying they couldn't play "Hey Jude" on their programmes, although some of the selfsame directors went on to praise my arrangement of the song. Capital Radio described it as "a very interesting arrangement". The BBC World Service went on to call it "a very original and quite virtuoso arrangement". From Sony Music I read: "..I was really impressed with the quality of the performance and your new arrangement". If the song was good enough to generate such comments, why wouldn't they play it ? ? ? After the radio set-back I sent a CD of my adapted version of "Hey Jude" to Paul McCartney at his office, asking if he could give me a hand by contacting some of the radio station directors. A week later I followed up by phoning his office, only to be met with one of the secretaries, who in a rude and aggressive manner dismissed me with,: "We've put your CD of "Hey Jude" in a cold cellar...". Why such a violent reaction ? ?... So I wrote to Paul McCartney. I even made 16 copies of my letters and mailed them separately to be sure that one of them at least got through to him at his home. Yet I never had a reply. Interestingly enough, just at that time I started to hear massive outpourings of the Beatles' "Hey Jude" on the radio,and Paul McCartney himself suddenly began performing live again at the "Cavern" in Liverpool after years of inactivity. It was during those same months that I was getting threatening, anonymous phone calls on my mobile, warning me against giving live performances or playing anywhere. The calls were always made from public telephones. One music agent whom I'd contacted in an effort to find myself a manager, apologized, saying: "I'm sorry, but I cannot use you...". He refused to say why and hung up on me. That was when I realized what a huge operation I was up against. So huge, in fact, that in the three and a half years I have been in England this second stay I have as yet to give my first live concert or perform anywhere, despite having contacted more than 20 music agents. Five months after my "Hey Jude" was blocked on British radio stations the latest Beatles' CD came out. This was the second time that my adaptation of "Hey Jude" had caused a Beatles' Anthology to appear..It seems some people regard my "Hey Jude" as a threat... And as another "coincidence", the e-mail address that Paul McCartney offered for fans to write to him is called ...as I said before, after my Hey Jude got blocked on british radio, Paul McCartney rushed in with concerts at the "Cavern" in Liverpool and launched this second Beatles Anthology CD. Nevertheless, when he saw that the concerts only gathered a very small audience and that the CD did not sell as expected, now he pushed for a CD to come out of his work with his group "Wings"...all this with no let-up, one thing after another, like he was trying to gain time for something, wanting to be constantly present in people's minds for some reason....It is with sadness that I realize that possibly some people could be very afraid of my Hey Jude.... Most recently, one of my piano tuning customers, who is involved with the British music industry, said an aggressive letter had been forged in my name and sent out to different branches of the above mentioned music industry and to other parts of the music world. This was further confirmed by a DJ friend of mine in British radio...What vile extremes will some people not resort to in their attempt to alienate others from me???... Also, as another "coincidence", one of the ten major record companies in London that stole my "Shangri-la" cassettes, has just launched a CD of one of their bands, being the band's CD title exactly the same as my own, with the addition of a couple of words to make the title a comical phrase !!! ..... They've launched it through one of their branches in another part of the world.....I suspect this is a subtle trap by this record firm expecting me to react to their action to implicate me with that part of the world.....I will not fall into that trap.....Now they are trying to block me in other parts of the world as well.....it looks like some people consider my work something very dangerous, judging by the amount of conspiracy they are generating......once again, it is amazing to see the vile manoeuvres of some people...... What I have said so far is just the tip of the iceberg. Depending on how things go, the full iceberg may yet come to light in all its magnitude. I don't want to blame anybody but I feel my story has to be told. I come looking to all music lovers to help me fight this horrible multi-tentacled monster that has kept me and my work out of the public eye and stolen my ideas. It is because of this conspiracy against me that I have had to find shelter on the Internet. My and my work can only be found at my website. Look on search engines for the name of Joseph Ferrante's website. I invite you all to it. Yours sincerely: Joseph Ferrante. -------------------------------2nd. part----------------------------- IN BRIEF ======== Joseph Ferrante, the music genius that The Beatles and their record firm blocked during 13 long years, in a gigantic plot which involved different sectors of the music industry... --------------------------------3rd. part---------------------------- ADDENDUM ======== The adaptation of Hey Jude by Joseph Ferrante has been granted a PUBLISHING AGREEMENT by the copyright owners. Due to this fact, the people involved, not being able to stop it legally, use all kind of vile and subreptitious and illegal manoeuvres to do it...... The only reason for this (and we must humbly say it because enough is enough) is that the adaptation of Hey Jude by Ferrante makes the original song look like an absolute nothing....They try to hide the sun with a finger...... It is possible to hide things from all the people part of the time and it is possible to hide things from part of the people all the time, but it's impossible to hide things from all of the people all of the time.. ..and what was done in the night, shows in daylight...... And the clear evidence showing that all these facts are true is that the trascendental masterpiece made by Ferrante is not known by the public, having Ferrante's adaptation of Hey Jude a publishing agreement by the copyright owners and all..... ---------------------------------4th. Part--------------------------- ....And not only they blocked the adaptation of Hey Jude by Joseph Ferrante.....but they also blocked his own compositions, our dear friend and reader..... Hey Jude is one among nine songs on the "Shangri-La" CD....the other eight are Ferrante's own compositions....they blocked those eight songs as well...... ---------------------------------5th. Part--------------------------- BREAKING NEWS ============= And now, after the people involved and their big international firm had used the pulling of strings and the traffic of influences with the newspapers so that they wouldn't publish this article, they are also trying to pretend in front of people as a big masquerade that Paul McCartney still owns the copyright for Hey Jude, when in fact he sold the rights of the Beatles' songs to three different international entities. Of these three international entities, Ferrante was granted a PUBLISHING AGREEMENT for his adaptation of Hey Jude by the owners of the copyright of the song. (AVAILABLE ON DEMAND) Due to the fact that he thinks that people are stupid and that he can twist the facts in front of audiences and that people will never know what things are like in real life (having people such gigantic brainwash with the guys and their pre-manufactured ACT AND MASQUERADE, WHEN IN FACT THEY ARE QUITE DIFFERENT IN REAL LIFE), they are still lying to audiences and making them think that the bass player owns the song and this and the other, when in fact THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN LEGALLY DO TO STOP THE ADAPTATION BY FERRANTE, other than the pulling of strings in newspapers and the traffic of influences here and there, all of which is done ILLEGALLY, SUBREPTITIOUSLY, AND VERY HIDDEN AND SUBTERRANEAN.....All this because the copyrights ARE NO LONGER THE BASS PLAYER'S....we repeat.....NO LONGER HIS...... Once again, the ONLY REASON for this is that the adaptation of Hey Jude by Ferrante makes the original song look like an absolute nothing...... ...they know VERY WELL that an elementary song had been upgraded to a MASTERPIECE......they fear the adaptation........it takes their sleep away............. ........And the stature of the man is determined by the amount of conspiracy he generates...... ---------------------------------P.S.------------------------------- We know that these things will be hard for some people, having the GIGANTIC BRAINWASH some people have. We used to have it TOO. We were the first ones to be SHOCKED by all this, but we saw the SERPENT HIDDEN BEHIND THE FLOWER, whereas everybody else DIDN'T.....We could discover the REAL PEOPLE behind the MASQUERADE...We WOKE UP....THEY DID WAKE US UP.....12 years of an amazing musician destroyed by SOME EGOLATRIES... ........that is VILE...... Respectfully....our dear friend and reader. THE NEWS MEDIA. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
