: Hello, Adrian and thanks for your comment. I fully agree that RCA had to do the job the Bear had done.
But I guess it is very habitual in this our life when a performing person or his legacy is squeezed and exploited to the bone and then just thrown away or forgotten.
I don't mean Jim of course, he'll be always remembered as one of the greatest, no matter how RCA or anyone else chooses to interpret a meaning of his greatness. It happens, though, with many personalities, not only with performing artists.
Anyway, thanks for the shared interest, it would be a pleasure to hear from you.
Lots of luck, Sergei
