His name was Myer. He was a storekeeper who, according to John Hurt, wrote songs and wanted artists he liked to record them. I don't know about their legal status, if any, but the records are de facto in the public domain. ds [ARSCLIST] Corporate History: Lonesome Ace Ben Grillot to: ARSCLIST 01/06/2011 09:48 AM Sent by: Association for Recorded Sound Discussion List <[log in to unmask]> Please respond to Association for Recorded Sound Discussion List Hello - Does anyone on this list know who the successors in interest to W.E. Meyer's Lonesome Ace label were? Are the recordings and graphic design of the labels themselves in the public domain? Orphans? Owned now by one of the major labels? I know that Revenant included Dock Boggs' Lonesome Ace sides on their release "Country Blues: The Complete Early Recordings (1927-29)" (Revenant CD 205, 1998) - does anyone have contact information for Revenant or any idea if they did a copyright search? Thanks, Ben Grillot Washington, DC
