Page "Paul's Boutique" Paragraph 4

Contrary to popular belief, most of the sampling for Paul's Boutique was cleared, but at excessively lower costs compared to today's prevailing rates.

A 2005 article by Paul Tingen about The Dust Brothers reveals that " most of the samples used on Paul's Boutique were cleared, easily and affordably, something that [...] would be ' unthinkable ' in today's litigious music industry.

" Mario " Mario C " Caldato, Jr., engineer on the album, later said in an interview that " after Boys did Paul ’ s Boutique we realized we had spent a lot of money in the studio.

We had spent about a $ 1 / 4 million in rights and licensing for samples.

" This type of sampling was only possible before Grand Upright Music, Ltd. v. Warner Bros. Records Inc., the landmark lawsuit against Biz Markie by Gilbert O ' Sullivan, which changed the process and future of hip hop sampling.
