San Juan Music Group

Run by Michael Chernow, the San Juan Music Group, Ltd. is a music and DVD licensing company specializing in back-catalog masters and new or re-recordings of artists from the 1970's through to the 1990's and beyond.

Masters in San Juan Music's catalogue include recordings by The O'Jays, The Stylistics, The Chi-Lites, Tanya Tucker, Chaka Khan, The Four Tops, Loverboy, T’Pau, Level 42, Peaches & Herb, The Fixx, ABC, Tavares, Paul Lekakis and, most prominently, Bob Marley. Usually these masters are either (later) re-recordings of original hits by the original artists, or live versions of original artist hits. These recordings are licensed to labels for either compilations, digital rights, greeting cards, regular brick-and-mortar retail as well as film and TV usage such as by BBC Television, Fox TV, and HBO.

The company did run into a few spots of legal bother towards the end of the nineties when they were sued by Betty Everett and others without permission.
