Legacy Recordings

Welcome to the Legacy Recordings Blog.

My name is Sam Gomez. I oversee Digital Media here at Sony BMG’s Legacy Recordings. As you may have read in my profile, I describe my job as “I get paid to listen to music and play on computers.” Granted, lots of people may actually get paid while while doing this, it is my real job and I love it. My crack-team of enthusiasts and I oversee technology-related activities for our catalog division. One of our main responsibilities is building and maintaining various web properties for our artists and music - this includes includes www.legacyrecordings.com. We also work very closely with digital retailers to make our music available online. Most importantly, we try develop new ways to continuously introduce fans to our deep archive of recorded music.

Over the coming weeks/months, we plan to use the Legacy Recordings Blog to share thoughts on what we’re working on. Staff members will likely share their experiences working with artists/estates, researching archives and finding unreleased masters. Obviously, there will be a few shameless plugs here and there - check out Sony BMG MusicBox for great classic music videos. The intention, however, is not to create yet another hypebot, but rather share our passion for music. Our staff is comprised of some of the most knowledgeable music fans in the world. Music touches our lives everyday and we want to share this with you.

Please feel free to post your thoughts and comments. From time to time, we may even solicit your response.

Thank you for stopping by. We hope you enjoy.
