didnt own their masterseven those who own their publishing... hardly ANYBODY in the 70s owned the SOUND RECORDING outside of the labelsthere are two copyrights for music - PA/SRPA is the actual song... on paper... SR is the actual sound recording. the tape/file that leaves the mastering studiois 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
