If I may summarise before this thread closes: 1) Bulmer is within his legal rights to do what he is doing. 2) He may or may not hold recorded "treasures" depending on your view point. 3) Musicians should check legal advise before signing with any recording company. 4) Nic Jones has been financially affected by Dave Bulmer's choice not to re-release old recordings held by himself. 5) Some musicians (though not all) have been satisfied with their treatment by Dave Bulmer (Celtic Music). 6) George Hawes was told to butt out but didn't.
