		Seymour Stein has been such a pervasive force in the pop-music industry it was probably only a matter of time before he himself became the inspiration for a pop song: Belle and Sebastian's "Seymour Stein."
		By 1964, Stein was working for Red Bird Records, a label that had major hits with the girl groups the Shangri-Las and the Dixie Cups but flamed out as quickly as the groups did.
		Sensing early on the creative and commercial potential of punk and new wave, Stein signed the Ramones and, shortly thereafter, the Talking Heads, Richard Hell and the Voidoids and the Dead Boys.

	Yahoo! - Warner's New Music Group Going 'Independent' Route (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Stein, the founding president of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, said it was important to have a two-layered system, consisting of majors and independents, because so much fresh talent gets started by independents.
		Stein has remained close with the artists he signed back in the Sire glory days, noting he had sought Madonna's advice when he was offered the job as president of Elektra in 1995.
		Stein said he plans to avoid the approach followed by some major labels that struggle to boost lackluster sales by signing an abundance of acts, many of which are inconsequential, in the hopes of finding a hit.

		Stein, Madonna noted, "He started collecting Art Deco back in the early 1960s, long before it was in vogue and moved onto the Symbolist and Pre-Raphaelite paintings a few years later.
		Stein's voracious pursuit of works of art over the past two decades, many made on his frequent trips to Europe to scout musical talent, has culminated in a large, wonderfully diverse collection.
		Stein's collection is a chromium-plated aluminum bed designed by Louis Sognot and Charlotte Alix, circa 1930-1933, for the luxurious modernist palace of the Maharaja of Indore in India (est.

		Ice-T and Stein, who has been the president of the board of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame since its inception in the mid-1980s, will be in select company at tomorrow's ceremony at the plush Waldorf Astoria hotel.
		Stein struck gold in 1971 when he signed the Dutch prog-rock band Focus, which in 1973 scored an international hit with "Hocus Pocus." He fared nearly as well with two English groups he signed during the same time period, Renaissance and Climax Blues Band.
		Stein now speaks of the Ramones with a mixture of pride and sadness (three of the group's four original members are deceased.) He signed the proto-punk band almost immediately.

		For those too young to know or care, Seymour Stein was the founder of Sire Records, the man who signed The Ramones, Talking Heads, and ultimately, Madonna.
		Stein, like his Sire label, was a kind of bridge between the old-school music-business labels and the developing indy and club scene.
		Yet "Seymour Stein" is also so spare and so sad that you wonder if the narrator is kidding, whether it's a send-up of all the all-too-earnest depresso-pop of bands like The Smiths, which had to have been a formative influence on Belle & Sebastian.

	style council: Seymour Stein Loves The Flairz
		Aussie kid band The Flairz has a fan in legendary AandR man Seymour Stein, who told me this morning he was highly impressed by the pre-pubescent trio when he saw them at South by South West.
		By the way, Stein, founder of Sire records, knows his shit when it comes to this kind of thing - he's signed a few small bands in his time, you know, like The Ramones, The Pretenders, Depeche Mode...oh, and he discovered Madonna.
		I told her that if she ever gets bored of journalism she should seriously consider a career in AandR, seeing as she (not a millionaire) and Stein (a millionaire) clearly have the same taste in music.

	Country Music Article - The Damnations (no more TX) finally land, May 2002
		Kelly considers Stein "the one person there at Sire that did care" about the band's success.
		She wrote him a letter asking (perhaps beseeching) him to let the band out of their contract and give them the rights to their masters.
		Her appeal to Stein was a way of saying, "Hey, look, we just want to survive as musicians." Whereas to Sire, the money made or lost on a non-blockbuster act like The Damnations was negligible, to the band "t (was) a matter of destroying somebody's career or not," Kelly says.

		It plays out in both the drowsy sexual hopes of principal songwriter Stuart Murdoch's idle protagonists and the giddiness of bandmate Stevie Jackson's "Seymour Stein" and "Chickfactor," which document his bewitchment by the city of New York and its beautiful girls and florid pitchmen.
		'Seymour Stein' is a glorious, mini-epic (I particularly love the line about the 'north country girl'!!!) and the title track is irresistable.
		Seymour Stein has a catchy hook, but feels like every other pop ballad released in the 60's and 70's.

		Sire Records was formed in 1966 by record entreprenuers Seymour Stein and Richard Gottehrer.
		In tribute after tribute in the notes for this extraordinary box, his knowledge of and devotion to music is cited, as in his nurturing of artists, most of whom became his friends.
		And, unless you know Seymour Stein or have followed the man's career, there's no way you could look at the track list here and sense a consistent aesthetic, though hooks were obviously the top -- if not uncommon -- priority.

	[No title]
		In my case, it was a sad little song about a real person many in the music business have known: "Seymour Stein." For those too young to know or care, Seymour Stein was the founder of Sire Records, the man who signed The Ramones, Talking Heads, and ultimately, Madonna.
		Yet "Seymour Stein" is also so spare and so sad that you wonder if the narrator is kidding, whether it's a send-up of all the all-too-earnest depresso-pop of bands like The Smiths, which had to have been a formative influence on Belle and Sebastian.
		However lovely, Belle and Sebastian songs earlier were often performed with such a delicate twinkle that they made the hushed sound of fellow Scotsman Donovan, '60s folk-rock troubadour, seem as unglued as Motörhead.

		However, soon growing discontent with simply marketing Seymour's signings, Warners set out to land a punk act of their very own Stateside, and spent untold amounts of Fleetwood Mac royalties to graft Malcolm's boys to the dotted line in October of '77.
		No sooner had WB issued Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols than they found John, Paul, Steve and Sid on their very doorstep as it were, about to embark on that ill-fated first American tour.

		Stein plans to help another Warner label, the Taiwan-based UFO Group, promote the Chinese singer in worldwide markets.
		Chasing Asian hits is the latest Holy Grail for the international music industry, but it is a search complicated by a change in Asian pop tastes.

		Sire Records founder Seymour Stein ostensibly seems a throwback to an earlier era when mini-moguls stamped their label's releases with their own idiosyncratic tastes.
		But the impossibly rich canon chronicled here argues Stein was driven more by a shrewd, far-ranging artistic vision than mere personal musical obsessions.
		Sponsoring those artists alone would have secured Stein's legacy, but this anthology argues he was never one for resting on his laurels, as later standout tracks by the Replacements, My Bloody Valentine, Barenaked Ladies>, Wilco Ministry and Throwing Muses attest.

		At the same time, I do think that you have to be aware of the needs and priorities of the person who is running the company.
		I must say that the situation I'm in now is somewhat easier for me because I'm working for [Sire president] Seymour Stein, who is an A&R person.

		Directors Michael Gramaglia and Jim Fields use the event as bookends for their film as they instantly flash back to Queens in 1974 when four friends with a love for The Stooges, The New York Dolls and sniffing glue were putting together a band.
		The film moves at a pace as quick as "Blitzkrieg Bop," featuring extensive interviews with members of the band and everyone from Blondie, Sire Records label head Seymour Stein and Joey Ramone's mother, who knew her son was an exceptionally intelligent youth, despite his shyness and debilitating obsessive-compulsive disorder.
		Concert footage from their first performance at the legendary CBGB's serves as reminder of how raw and violent the Ramones' music was.
