    Question Syderia Publishing Co. [[BMI) - Any Info

    Hi All,

    I'm new to the forum - what a wonderful resource for information about such IMPORTANT music!

    I have a long career of licensing music for film & television, and I have been looking into many Detroit labels and publishers recently. One name that keeps coming around is Syderia Publishing Co.

    I can't seem to find any contact information for them, and after speaking with BMI - I came up empty again. I'd love to learn more about the history, and get in touch with the current owner. I also believe that they should update their info with BMI, since the office was completely flummoxed.

    Thanks so much! Looking forward to being a part of these conversations.

    Best,

    Jacob Nathan

    You came to the right place! I have your answer!

    Originally, Syderia Music was the personal publisher for Diamond Jim Riley's record labels: Riley's, Diamond Jim, and Big D. He was murdered in 1971. So, I don't know who ended up with the ownership rights and masters. I can direct you to discographies of those 3 labels, if you wish.

    If you Google "Syderia Music - Detroit" look for 2 or 3 listings of Soulful Detroit Forum threads on which I and other Detroit Soul experts discussed Diamond Jim Riley's labels. If you can't find them, I'll post links to them, later.

    Thanks for this - very helpful. I'm going to keep digging [[I'm local) and see if I can turn up more info on a possible estate. Very interesting history here.

    Thanks again!

    Diamond Jim Riley had been a boxer and fight promoter. He was murdered by his own bodyguard in 1971.
