Music Ground - they're at it again...

Who are the proper owners of the shop? I can access plenty of case law websites that might have reports and have a look.

Richard Harrison and Justin Harrison.

Apparently once caught trying to fake McCartney provenance (and caught out by the BBC?): http://www.thecanteen.com/mccartney7.html

All those big guys scammed? I am not convinced. Hammett / Metallica are not exactly non-litigious.


But the question has to be asked, with all this flying around the net, why didn't Music Ground sue for libel etc?

Did MG actually go into liquidation?

Did MG actually go into liquidation?

As i understand it, some bits of the Harrison empire have gone. Others remain (like the Ebay offshoots). Like a lot of organizations, MG is split into many separate Ltd companies. It's that old-fashioned technique that - by pure coincidence - allows company directors to run several businesses from one desk, and - if the worst looks like it's about to happen - they can be... er... 'creative' with assets and creditors.

(Which is the reason why I've posted here before that it's a bad time to be putting valuable gear on commission sale with a dealer).

It's also relevant for those who didn't know that Steve Giles, the chap who had been building the JMI 30/6 amp for Music Ground, stopped working with them earlier this year. Something to do with not being paid on time if I remember correctly.

Nice first post, and welcome to the forum! (Assuming that you ain't a sock puppet of course)
