Sound recording royalties rights of the songs listed in that site were sold by Ed Bicknell to create the investment fund and Spotify (and all the others) pays to sound recording rightsholders 6 times more than to composition rightsholders

If you have some euros, you can buy DS rights and get benefits...
Bicknell sold their part of DS royalties and looks like who bought it wants to get benefits of it as well.

I’m not complaining but just wondered who makes the money from people downloading it. Obviously not MK. Good job he’s stinking rich. Not so good for new artists.
Yes, the Artist gets a small percentage of earnings in most cases if it's not the crowdfunding platform of some sorts. I remember putting my work on Shutterstock and other stock photos websites, and even though you took the picture (or shot the video), you edited it, you trimmed it, uploaded it, named it, provided it with proper tags and stuff, Shutterstock shamelessly takes 70% of royalties. Unbelievable numbers for when you do 99% of the work. But they need to keep their Empire State Building office up I guess.
Generally speaking, numbers from all these publishing platforms are so low you might as well just ignore it or put "the earnings" in your piggy bank.

I remember that someone posted the info here when they were still on sale. You missed probably it.
I remember asking myself if I should buy a small symbolic share
But money calls for money, and to get ROI you need to invest a lot. Small invest generally turns into being eaten by the fees you have to support, and it would have costed me way more than I invested even if the aim was not to be a millionaire from it... I don't remember who said "the best way not to loose money is to be profitable" or "benefits are addition, deficits are multiplication".

He is actually! Well he spent a lot of time in Leeds (Yorkshire) and with Steve Phillips so a Yorkshire accent should come easily. He did a Welsh accent during that Brian Johnson interview and was pretty funny. I'd be told by a Welsh person no doubt there are many regional variations but to me it was a typical "Welsh" accent. Maybe years spent with Terry Williams and Geriant Watkins have rubbed off. Whenever I try a Welsh accent I slip into an Indian one somehow!
Yes, Badges is very much a Yorkshire accent. I always wonder what people from Gods Own Country think about that with Mark being an outsider so-to-speak.

Definitely a Yorkshire accent and I should know, because I live there! There are many Yorkshire accents, depending on where you live - some are a bit rough and others are really lovely and soft, but I would say MK's Yorkshire accent is a Leeds one. I have lived in Leeds for many years and still don't have one, just my original Liverpool twang, although watered down a bit now! ;D I agree that MK is very good at accents.
BTW I love Badges. It makes me laugh a lot!

Yes, Pick at the end plays a tambourine, same than in the demos. I don't know why they didn't the tambourine in the record.
