RONSON SNUBS DYLAN FOR WINEHOUSE

British super-producer MARK RONSON has turned down the opportunity to work with BOB DYLAN and PAUL WELLER to ensure he has enough studio time with AMY WINEHOUSE.

The New York-based star has been offered the chance to collaborate with veteran rockers Dylan and Weller, but he would prefer to concentrate on young female British acts Lily Allen and Winehouse.

He says, "I'm getting lots of people come forward and saying they like what I do, which is mind-blowing - especially when it is the likes of Dylan and Weller.

"Mani (Gary Mounfield ) from the Stone Roses came up to me at a party and said I should cover one of their tracks. I was blown away as they're one of my favourite bands of all time.

"But Amy and Lily are my priority. As long as they want me to work with me, I'll do something with them."

Meanwhile, Ronson reveals his contribution to Winehouse's Mercury Prize nominated album Back to Black has earned him more money than his hit 2007 album Version.

He adds, "Back to Black is most people's favourite album of the last year. Amy's sold 20 times as many albums as I have and I wrote a song on that so that's where my money is coming from."
