Borchester Echo, can you point me in the direction of your info on Argo's plans to digitise its back catalogue? The only reissues I can find on their website are from the classical catalogue and the "forthcoming releases" section is empty. Am I looking in the wrong place?

About the copyright thing, I was thinking about recordings that came out pre-1960: like Alan Lomax and the Ramblers, Shirley Collins' Sweet England, stuff on Topic and Beltona...

Unfortunately Kevin Daly, who produced Won't You Go My Way, is dead. As you suggested, I have written to Argo to ask them to chase up Peter Self, who did the recording with his mobile studio. Would you accept a friendly wager that the album will be out of copyright before I get a reply?
