I remember when the Cunts at Capitol sent me paperwork asking for 1/2 royalties for the intro of CD's into the market place for the Motels records that I slaved over for a year each time I did one. Must have been 82 or 83! I also remember them saying it would only be a year or two....That was 1982 or 1983! What the fuck happened to the year or two! All the lawyers were in on it as well.....Even the the ones on our side. Val Garay In Response to Luke!

We never ever got one. (Herman's Hermits). Apparently one was mailed in 1967 but it still hasn't arrived. I bet we sold a few records once upon a time. Maybe you bought one thinking that one of the Hermits or Herman himself would get a nickel or something? I just saw someone mention $1.40. That is more than we got for ALL our combined sales. We all made records because we wanted to make records. Who knew that there were people waiting to steal all our work and buy houses and give parties for people we would never meet? I am proud to say I never made a record for money. That's the way it was back then. -- Peter Noone Herman http://peternoone.com http://www.myspace.com/hermanshermitspeternoone http://hermanshermits.com Hello bob,
