Well, if anyone has been wondering (because of this and the Agents of Fortune anniversary disc), it turns out the reason “This Ain't the Summer of Love” isn’t included on any of them..... is Murray Krugman is a dick. I’ll post the link below, but he gave a recent interview where he basically claims credit for just about any success the band ever had, insults almost every member of the band (and Sandy Pearlman), and also claims they ripped him off on a songwriting credit.
Quote:
And many years later, there was a TV show where BÖC played all of the songs on Agents of Fortune. (laughs) And I refused to give the show’s producer permission to do “This Ain’t the Summer of Love” (note: which Krugman co-wrote with Albert Bouchard and Don Waller). So, it had all of the songs from Agents—except “Summer”. And he said to me, “Well, we’re offering $500.” And I said, “This band probably owes me three-quarters of a million dollars in royalties”. “Well, we’ll go up to $750.” And I just said, “Are you listening to yourself?” (laughs)
Setting aside any judgment on whether it was a fair offer, he did it out of spite, so fuck that guy. He an egotistical jackass that takes potshots at dead people.
