I have reel to reel recordings from the early 70's
They are in MY possesion - they belong to ME - when they are digitized and web-posted they "belong" to the world.
Now....do I sit, like a "setting hen" and sit and sit and sit (the recordings are mine...all mine) or seek out the original players and colloborate on "release dates????".....
SORRY...the recordings are mine....damn the writers, performers, studios....once "the genie has left the bottle" you will never get them to return.
CAMSCO is needs changing - the professional "folk" I know... cut out the "middle-man" five to eight years ago....CD's sell at $15.... from the artist direct....with 12.50 going directly to the artist.
