Larry Parnes offered 60/40 in his favour and then realised 40% was too much for his boys so offered a wage. I believe Brian Epstien also tried to get the beatles to take a wage. You only ever here people complain that Tom Parker had a 50/50 Spilt with Elvis, yet he was his only act and worked hard to get big fees for himself and Elvis. As a Result Elvis was a Millionaire in 1957, less than 18 months after signing with Parker. Were talking 1957 money about 10 times that today. Larry Parnes made Millions, He had Tommy Steele, Billy Fury, Marty Wilde, Joe Brown and a few lesser acts on his books, all making records and performing
Lain, I enjoyed your chat with Marty very much...!!! I can tell he's a fine person and you are as well. Keep up the GREAT work....!!! Warmest regards, Trade Martin.

I’m 81 years old and have grown up with Artists like Marty.
Thank you Iain & Marty, very enjoyable and interesting interview.
That was very good interview with Marty Wilder and interviewed by Iain McNay
What a fabulous voice he has.
I Love these interviews
yes, they are interesting
Well, five years on and the boys still got it. Saw him recently and his professionalism combined with a likeable character comes right across.
I love Marty's song about Eddie Cochran. Enjoyed hearing him talk.
Thanks.
His "Diversions" LP is the best UK LP ever !!!!
I could listen Marty all day , love hearing his stories especially bout the early days , love to interview him one day ... great interview ..
