Bella Figura Music Acquires Stake in Jeepster Recordings Catalog

London-based catalog management and acquisition company Bella Figura Music has acquired what _Music Week_ calls a “significant portion” of the Jeepster Recordings catalog.

Why it matters:

• Jeepster’s catalog includes Belle and Sebastian albums If You’re Feeling Sinister and The Boy With The Arab Strap.

• It also features Snow Patrol’s When It’s All Over We Still Have To Clear Up and The Gentle Waves’ Swansong For You.

Good company:

• Jeepster’s catalog joins Bella Figura’s roster, which includes the RAK Music Publishing repertoire, as well as tracks such as Joan Jett & the Blackhearts’ “I Love Rock ’N Roll,” The Human League’s “Don’t You Want Me,” Robbie Williams’ “Angels,” and songs written and performed by Adele, Amy Winehouse and more.

What they said:

• Alexi Cory-Smith, CEO & Founder of Bella Figura Music: “Jeepster helped bring truly distinctive records into the world. Music that has continued to resonate with listeners decades on. We’re proud to become the steward of this catalog and to support its long-term legacy through thoughtful, active rights management.”
