Hi List,
Anyone have good knowledge of the history behind
the Music and Arts recordings? From what I can tell they were released
from 1987 to 1991.
How did Music and Arts get their hands on these
recordings? Did they really slowly release them five years? Are the
ones from the 80s easier to find
than the ones from the early 90s? Did the
earlier ones circulate more in the USA than the later ones? Did it take a few years of lawsuits from Sony to get M &A
to stop releasing the recordings? Why didn't Sony make
M&A stop releasing them when they bought
CBS? If Music and Arts in 1987
legally had the rights to those recordings, how could Sony later make them
stop printing them? Was this a bootleg operation from the
start?
By the way, Sony, from what I can tell, bought CBS
in 1987. I have no idea when the idea for a Glenn Gould edition came to
their minds.
Also, the Odyssey records (a handful of
Mozart, Beethoven and one Bach disc) seems to have been released in 1987,
89, and 90. That is to say right at the time Sony bought CBS and before the GG
edition starts coming out.
Thanks,
Jim
