Pink Floyd royalties claim by kids

"We all need some compensation," says a group of former London state school kids that sang the famous chorus "We don't need no education" in Pink Floyd's "Another Brick In The Wall."

The 23 kids from the Islington Green School were taken to a recording studio to lay down the chorus by their music teacher, Alun Renshaw, who told the Evening Standard that he accepted the offer from the band's management because it was "an interesting sociological thing and also a wonderful opportunity for the kids to work in a live recording studio.

... royalties expert Peter Rowan told Reuters that he has filed a claim with the Music Royalties Society on behalf of one of the singers and is working with some of the other former students in the action. However, he has yet to track down a majority of the students involved.

At the time of recording the school was paid £1,000 for the student's work. Later after the album and song had become a hit, the school was given a platinum record.
