Hey all, I have a kind of esoteric question. Does anyone know who, if anyone, owns the rights to Emerson Records, the label that operated from the teens to the twenties and produced 5, 7, 9, 10 and 12 inch records. I know from the researching (mostly on mainspringpress.com) I've done that Emerson was sold to Scranton Button Works in November 1924. I also know that Scranton was later involved in the creation of A.R.C. which was later sold to Columbia, now Sony. What I don't know was if the Emerson rights were included in the creation of A.R.C. or if they lapsed into the public domain with the folding of the re-organized Scranton Record Company sometime in the 1940's. I can't find anything which answers this question directly, so I wonder if any of you know. Thanks very much. James
