Talking objectively, The Streets are not an 'out there' name...

This is from The Great Escape 2018 - last year - it clearly says that.

MVR have been there for the past two years filming artists like Sigrid etc.

UB40

"Is anyone bigger than ABBA, as well as being interested to do a VR gig, nobody if you ask me."

With all due respect, that's a very subjective statement that I think many, many people would disagree with based on current sales and social reach stats.

Aside from exercising warrants, I highly doubt the record labels have 'pumped all the money in'.

Note that Facebook licensed the record labels (and publishers) in 2018 to give them access to the content rights and time to come up with a music product. Other than some gimmicks on Instagram, that is yet to be seen and so the idea of them working with/acquiring a company like MVR is appealing and possible, as it would set them aside from their competitors in the streaming space and tie in with their VR strategies. A nice one to speculate, at least...

*$120

Don't worry about them. Buy or don't.

Spotify has been around long enough to showcase it's revenues but still doesn't turn a profit and trades at +120p...

Maybe an xmas Bucks Fizz reunion gig? :)

Agree Jimmy. Lack of comms is frustrating and likely causing some tangible short-term downtrend but, on the flipside, all faith that BOD are making the right moves to cement MVR as a significant player in the growing music streaming landscape long-term.

Almost entertaining to witness the fragile anxiety of some PIs.

Some really deluded, deramping comments here.

Also, if it's UB40 were all ****ed.

Thanks 5Orrell - i'm aware how much a YouTube Music subscription is. Kind of you to remind me though.

My point being, it would make very little sense for Melody VR to spend this long developing their own app to then license content they have produced to any of YouTube's platforms; ad-funded, Music subscription or YT VR other than for promo. It's a backwards step - they want to build subscribers on their own property. It would be like Spotify doing a sub-license with Apple.

BrownAdder - not sure I understand your points below. MVR can do what they want with their own content (NDA's permitting). They could license to other channels if they wish and are already the biggest producer of music VR content. That doesn't require being bought by YT nor make much sense as a value proposition.

Is this not just the same video that's available on standard YouTube from 4th October, but in VR?

I'd be surprised and a little disappointed if the global media channel is YouTube.

While YouTube’s average monthly user-base on the ad funded tier is almost the same as FB at ~2m, this model has traditionally compensated rights holders unfairly, as is well reported. I'd expect MVR to want to limit the content they produce that is available there. YouTube Music has less than 10m premium subscribers and is certainly not a main player like Spotify, Apple or even Amazon. They have also dragged their feet in terms of pushing VR.

MVR aim to be a significant new music DSP (and from what we know, they seem to be making all the rights moves imo) so partnering with a company like this as opposed to driving users to their own app via, say, the leading VR hardware manufacturer and worlds biggest social media company who can provide priceless value in bespoke advertising, would be a strange choice for their long-term strategy.

Honestly, who knows at this point, but given what we’ve seen my hope still lies with FB, whose long-term strategy is to get 1b people using VR. Just my thoughts.

Updated article from Oct'17 on same topic specifically mentions working with MelodyVR.

Petebo I was there too and thought SH spoke perfectly.

The reason I know of this company and felt confident to invest in this share (as a first ever investment) is down to seeing SH speak on a small industry panel back in September 2016 and as much research as I could do afterwards.

I'm hugely impressed with the BOD. I'm not a frequent poster on here but some of the impatient comments over the years have sure made me chuckle! I'm happy to let this play out, with the confidence that the BOD do, in fact, know what they're doing :)

Not sure of the rationale behind the first live streamed gig NOT being a big name??

Here's hoping but I think speculating any kind of partnership from just appearing on a panel together is another one to be taken with a pinch of salt.

Why the speculation around a possible tie-up with Amazon?

MVR don't need to announce a deal with any given label for them to have recorded their artists. They can do one off agreements covering certain artists or shows, as opposed to a label's full remit of artists.

Vance Joy event on 30th May is at Red Rocks Amphitheatre...one of the venues Melodyvr had on their website. http://www.vancejoy.com/tour

Seems like everything is suggesting it is pre-installed, unless i'm misreading things...
