3015187, many of the musicians Posted by howardlloyd, Tue Apr-09-19 06:15 PM didnt own their masters even those who own their publishing... hardly ANYBODY in the 70s owned the SOUND RECORDING outside of the labels there are two copyrights for music - PA/SR PA is the actual song... on paper... SR is the actual sound recording. the tape/file that leaves the mastering studio is OWNED by the label... hence the label licensing songs without regard to the artists wishes. its also the most cost heavy of the copyrights to clear
