The controversy escalated when Jensen contacted Foe about the issue. Foe claimed that Jean-Max had authorized the release of the “Troubadour” album. However, Jean-Max contradicted this statement, telling Jensen that he only learned about the release from Lemy yesterday and had no knowledge of any such authorization being given to Savoir Faire.
King Kino has urged fans to avoid purchasing any Phantoms’ products bearing the Savoir Faire logo. He also warned that any record stores selling these unauthorized products would face legal consequences.
Adding to the confusion, the owner of Savoir Faire, who also served as the Executive Producer of the disputed CD, claimed that Jensen owed him a significant amount of money, which led to the release of the album. The owner further pointed out that the Savoir Faire trademark appears on all Phantoms’ CDs.
Jensen’s brother, Wescott, supported Kino’s stance, asserting that they did not authorize the release. Moreover, it has been alleged that Foe has also re-released the “Pa Bouge” album and the “Resurrection” double CD album without the band’s knowledge or consent.
As the situation unfolds, fans and industry observers await further developments in this dispute over the rights to Phantoms’ music.
