Elizabeth Music Group Master Royalties offers a free catalog review intended to identify potential master-side collection opportunities. The review can include recordings in the creator’s catalog, master royalty information, agreements, ownership or participation terms, and other information relevant to determining whether a producer, artist, or rights holder may have eligible master royalties that are not currently being collected.
For producers, an important part of the review is determining whether agreements provide master royalty points in addition to any upfront beat advance. For artists or other rights holders, the review may involve examining the recording-side rights and the parties responsible for accounting. The team can also consider whether a recording has been properly cleared and whether additional documentation is needed before collection can begin.
If a potential opportunity is identified, Elizabeth Music Group Master Royalties can organize the relevant metadata and rights information, communicate with appropriate labels or royalty departments, and handle registrations, submissions, follow-ups, and royalty inquiries as applicable.
A catalog review is investigative, not a promise that money is waiting. Some recordings may not have recouped, some agreements may not provide master participation, and some claims may require additional documentation. The purpose is to determine where legitimate opportunities may exist and what steps would be required to pursue them.
