Reservoir announces the acquisition of the producer catalog of
legendary Rock producer Tom Werman. The deal includes 100% of
Werman’s producer rights for all of his works including the #1
Billboard Hot 100 hit “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” by Poison.
Werman began his career as an A&R executive for Epic
Records, signing standout rock artists like REO Speedwagon, Cheap
Trick, Ted Nugent, Molly Hatchet, and Boston, before shifting focus
to record producing, where he went on to contribute to 23 Gold- and
Platinum-certified records for artists and bands such as Mother’s
Finest, Ted Nugent, Cheap Trick, Molly Hatchet, Blue Öyster Cult,
Mötley Crüe, Twisted Sister, Lita Ford, Dokken, Kix, L.A. Guns, and
Poison.
In addition to “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” some of Werman’s
evergreen productions include Poison’s “Nothin’ But A Good Time,”
Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It” and “I Wanna Rock,”
Mötley Crüe’s “Girls, Girls, Girls,” and Cheap Trick’s “Surrender,”
among many others.
On the acquisition, Werman says, “It’s gratifying to make this
agreement with Faith Newman and the Reservoir team who genuinely
care about my work, and I’m glad to have found such avid
supporters.”
“I am so happy to continue to represent Tom, from when he
produced amazing albums back in the day to this new deal with
Reservoir,” Marvin Katz, Werman’s attorney, adds. “We are thankful
to the great Reservoir team for all their enthusiasm.”
Adds Reservoir EVP, A&R and Catalog Development Faith
Newman, “From the powerful, iconic hits to the deeper cuts, Tom’s
contributions to Rock as we know it are indelible. We are honored
to now include them as part of the Reservoir catalog.”
This news comes following the announcement that Reservoir has
entered into an agreement with Roth CH Acquisition II Co. (Nasdaq:
ROCC), a special purpose acquisition company, taking the first step
toward becoming a publicly traded company listed on the Nasdaq.
