Crosby Stills Nash and Young are suing printing company D’Andrea Graphics Corp for failure to fill 1,250 orders.
CSNY fans ordered the premium edition of the historic release back in May with a promise the orders would be shipped with five weeks. Credit cards were charged $558 for each order in June and as of September no-one has received their order.
CSNY Recordings LLC, Crosby Stills Nash & Young’s collective company, filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of Los Angeles on Friday. According to the City News Service, “the lawsuit alleges breach of contract, intentional interference with contract and conversion. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages”.
D’Andrea has received $237,620 for CSNY fans and is refusing to refund the money. The company has also failed to pay its suppliers including the website designer.
CSNY Recording LLC has refunded fans directly and is suing D’Andrea to recover the funds.
