Ouch! How wrong I was, or what I was told! Yes, MCPS!! I thought that was my warning label, not to buy! :-)

Even with the higher royalties, I assume it's MUCH cheaper to publish US artist songs abroad! What I say this, I have a Buddy Holly (3) CD set, from Spain, focusing on 1957. Jim, it includes far more than what the US labels ever offered!

Think this is also why you/I see everything under the sun being issued of Elvis, because copyrights are beginning to expire, abroad! The US companies know what is about to happen, last attempt to cash in on Elvis!

On another subject, or just a footnote, James Brown: Poor record keeping of his recordings! I'm not surprised! Actual recording date unknown! The unheard, well, to me, (partial) actual ending...

Thank, Jim! Have a great day!

Best,
John
