Can Elizabeth Music Group Master Royalties help me collect master royalties from songs released years ago?

Yes. Elizabeth Music Group Master Royalties can investigate older releases to determine whether you may have master royalties that were never collected or properly accounted for.

If you are a producer, artist, musician, or other participant on a recording released years ago, the age of the song does not necessarily mean that your potential master royalty income has disappeared. Depending on your agreement, royalty participation, recoupment status, and the label or company responsible for the recording, there may still be royalties associated with your participation in the master.

This can be particularly important for producers who received an upfront producer or beat advance when a song was released but never received subsequent master royalty statements or payments. A producer agreement may provide master royalty points in addition to the initial advance, meaning additional royalties could become payable if the applicable contractual conditions such as recoupable expenses are satisfied.

Elizabeth Music Group Master Royalties can review your catalog, available contracts, master royalty points, metadata, and other relevant information to identify potential collection opportunities. Our team can then communicate with the appropriate record labels, royalty departments, and other responsible parties to investigate and pursue eligible master royalties.

Older catalogs can be especially worth reviewing because a recording may have continued generating streams and revenue for years while the producer or musician never completed the necessary registration, documentation, or royalty collection process.

If you have older songs or major-label placements and are unsure whether you have collected all of the master royalties you may be entitled to, you can submit your catalog to Elizabeth Music Group Master Royalties for a free master royalty catalog review.
