Hi John, The analysis was not by me - I think I found it on the Bear Family web site. I don't know the name of "the other" German company. It could be Document, altho I believe they are technically located in Austria. I have no advice for anyone, except to say that music issued by "defunct labels" is usually considered the property of some existing label... I think it is possible to use a short segment of a recording without license (20 seconds?), but I'm not sure about this.
