Believe signs Roy Harper to digital deal
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 5 April 2011
Digital distributor Believe Digital has announced it has entered into an exclusive deal with singer-songwriter Roy Harper which will see the company represent his nineteen albums and a new compilation in the digital domain.
Previously Harper’s digital catalogue was only available via his own website. Now his releases will be sold via iTunes and all other major digital retailers. The partnership comes as Harper approaches his 70th birthday, and will coincide with an ITV TV special and rare live show at the Royal Festival Hall later this year.
Believe Digital UK MD Stephen King told CMU: “This new agreement with Roy Harper is a major coup for Believe Digital. Roy is a genuine original who cares deeply about his legacy and how it is exploited. He is trusting Believe to oversee the distribution of his music to mainstream online retailers for the first time and it is a task we don’t take lightly. We are deeply honoured to be working with an artist of his stature during this important new step in his stellar career”.
