Table 5 (continued)

Source: The majority of royalty payments from record companies to music publishers are made through the Harry Fox Agency. Robert R. Nathan Associates carried out a survey of the records of these payments for the fourth quarter of 1974. A similar study was made for the second quarter of 1965. The results of this earlier survey were presented on February 25, 1966 in the Second Supplementary Statement of Robert R. Nathan on behalf of the Music Publishers' Protective Association (now the National Music Publishers' Association), before the subcommittee on Patents, Trademarks, and Copyrights of the Committee on the Judiciary, 89th Congress, Second Session.

The three largest record companies were included in
both of the tabulated samples. They accounted for
41 percent of the payments through the Harry Fox
Agency in the last quarter of 1974. For each of
these three record companies the twenty largest music
publishers in terms of royalty payments were deter-
mined in the most recent survey; those twenty differ
for the various record companies. A total of 47
publishers were included. In the 1965 survey six
publishers per record company were analyzed. Thus
a much larger sample has been taken in 1974. How-
ever, to provide direct comparability with the 1965
results, tabulations have also been made for the
fourth quarter of 1974 for a subsample consisting
of the six largest music publishers for each of the
three largest record companies. Total payments for
the group analyzed in the fourth quarter of 1974 in
the full sample of 20 publishers per record company
were $2.34 million, covering the sale of 144.6 million
selections.
