When releasing a cover of a song by someone like Cyril Tawney or Graeme Miles: someone who is dead, relatively obscure, and very much intended for their songs to be part of a folk tradition, how best should one go about this? Should you try and track down the labels to secure a liscence, even though many of the labels are old, unreachable, or defunct? Or should you just take your chances and release it even though you don't have a liscence?
