Sempre a proposito di campionamenti di brani degli Stones, i Verve per Bittersweet symphony si sono dissanguati per pagare i diritti sull'utilizzo della base di "the last time" in versione sinfonica (della andrew loog oldham orchestra)
qui c'è il brano originale

comunque ecco la storia completa
<<Although the song's lyrics were written by Verve vocalist Richard Ashcroft, it has been credited to Keith Richards and Mick Jagger because the song uses the Andrew Oldham Orchestra recording of The Rolling Stones' 1965 song "The Last Time" as its foundation.

Originally, The Verve had negotiated a license to use a sample from the Oldham recording, but it was successfully argued that the Verve had used 'too much' of the sample.[4] Despite having original lyrics, the music of "Bitter Sweet Symphony" is largely based on the Oldham track (the song uses the sample as its foundation and then builds upon, though the continuous riff is Ashcroft's creation), which led to a lawsuit with ABKCO Records, Allen Klein's company that owns the rights to the Rolling Stones material of the 1960s. The matter was eventually settled, with copyright of the song reverting to ABKCO and songwriting credits to Jagger and Richards.

“ "We were told it was going to be a 50/50 split, and then they saw how well the record was doing," says band member Simon Jones. "They rung up and said 'we want 100 per cent or take it out of the shops', you don't have much choice."[5] ”

After losing the composer credits to the song, Richard Ashcroft commented, "This is the best song Jagger and Richards have written in 20 years."

The song was later used, against the will of the band, by Nike in a shoe commercial. As a result, it was on the Illegal Art CD from the magazine Stay Free!. The song was also used in a Vauxhall Motors commercial, prompting Ashcroft to declare onstage, "Don't buy Vauxhall cars, they're shit." However, the band was able to stop further use of the song by employing the European legal concept of moral rights.

Ashcroft and the band's reaction to the loss of control and financial rewards from what was their most popular song was not positive; and it has been argued that the issue contributed to Ashcroft's depression and the band's later split.

On Ashcroft's return to touring, the song traditionally ended the set list. Ashcroft also reworked the single for 'VH2 Live' for the music channel VH1, stripping the song of its strings. Ashcroft is quoted as saying during the show: "Despite all the legal angles and the bullshit, strip down to the chords and the lyrics and the melody and you realize there is such a good song there."

He also dedicated the song to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards at a gig at the Sage Gateshead in Gateshead. After an audience member booed, Ashcroft exclaimed, "Don't boo, man. As long as I can play this song I'm happy to pay a few of those guys' bills."

In a Cash For Questions interview with Q magazine in 1998, Keith Richards was asked if he thought it was harsh taking all The Verve's royalties from Bitter Sweet Symphony to which he replied, "I'm out of wack here, this is serious lawyer shit. If The Verve can write a better song, they can keep the money.">>

Grazie, mauro! Interessantissimo! Sapevo per sommi capi di cosa si trattava, ma non mi erano chari i termini esatti di questa vicenda!

E la citazione di Keith è impagabile!!!!

sulla versione di according c'e' scritto che la canzone in questione e' ycagwyw

E infatti anche io sapevo questo ... anche perchè sul cd dei Verve dice che il campionamento è stato fatto su ycagwya ...

Grazie al link fornito da Mauro mi sono finalmente deciso ad ascoltare la versione orchestrale di "The Last Time"... e sono rimasto davvero stupito!!! Ashcrof infatti ha sempre dichiarato che il brano era tutto suo e che di fatto gli Stones rivendicando copyrights su di esso hanno perpetrato un abuso...ma in realtà gli Stones avevano ragione al 100!!!!!!!!! "bittersweet Simphony" suona più come un remix di "The Last Time orchestral" che come un brano originale!!!!

A questo punto deve per forza esserci un errore nei credits che indicano in "You Can't Always Get What You Want" il brano campionato, perché il brano inviato da Mauro parla da sè!!!!

Ragazzi è fantastica The Last Time Orchestral

sul cd dei verve che ho io non c'è traccia di ycagwyw, compaiono solo jagger e richards nei credits della canzone
i verve nelle interviste hanno giocato sul fatto che nessuno conosceva la versione originale, infatti solo qualche collezionista era in possesso di quel disco... anch'io all'epoca non capivo cosa centrasse con the last time... poi l'ho capito

in realta' io non capivo che c'entrasse ycagwyw

se Ashcroft ha dichiarato che il brano era tutto suo, evidentemente era sbronzo marcio.

o fatto
