Should I register remastered recordings with PPL?

Remastered sound recordings should be registered with PPL as a separate recording from the original (un-remastered) recording only where the remaster is protected by a new copyright.

PPL has prepared a guidance note on remasters to help members to decide whether to register the remastered recording in each instance. This guidance note also contains information regarding performer payments in respect of remastered recordings.

PPL’s Data Policy states that remasters should be identified as such when they are registered with PPL and sets out how to do this.
