IMPORTANT NOTICE
Hi everybody who is interested and prepared to help with a long ongoing and expensive investigation.
It came to my notice some time ago that a certain number of my master recordings were being licensed out for compilations around the world without my prior knowledge or consent, to third parties by persons and or firms that had no rights to do so. Further more not I or any of my companies have received payment or statements in lieu of this activity.
This situation has been reported to the relevant authorities and it would be very helpful for my case if anybody out there that has purchased or has access to any of these items would inform me of the title of the compilation, if it is a multi artist compilation or a Mungo Jerry compilation, if possible when and where it was purchased, what label it is on and a scan of the complete insert. This also applies to tracks from the album “A Case for the Blues”, that I recorded with Peter Green, Jeff Whittaker and Vincent Crane.
In particular, I am seeking information on tracks that have been licensed out by the following companies which happen to be companies owned and controlled by the Cohen family, Eliot and Joanne, and the names of which, but not limited to, are as follows, Sound and Vision Management Ltd., OVC Media Ltd. AMI Media Ltd., Waveffect Ltd., Associated Music Ltd.
It would also be of interest to me to have the same information regarding, but not limited to the following artists: Les McKeown / Bay City Rollers, John DuCann, Atomic Rooster, Derek Dallenger, Kelly Marie, Bruce and Bongo, Jesse Green, Kelly Marie, The Attack, The Troggs, Peter Green, Geordie feat Brian Johnson.

"I'm working on a lot of new music projects at the moment and covering many types of music genres that I'm interested in.
I grew up with rock and blues based stuff but through my connections with Afro Caribbean music I have a lot of feelings for world music too.
I'm getting on a bit now but I'm still a teenager at heart.
I've recently done some great gigs and I'm looking forward to the time when I can get over to the US and do some shows, it has been about three years since I last played in the States, but my first influences came out of American music that I heard on the radio as a kid so it is always a good feeling for me to be over there."
Keep on Rockin' --
Ray Dorset
