I take leave to doubt that. EMI roused the whole industry to fury and took their case to Europe to get copyright extended by twenty years, all on account of The Beatles. They just don't let third parties near their crown jewel. |
And neither should they or anybody else. I wasn't aware of the copyright situation you described. Thanks , Tim. |
Wasn’t Cliff Richard involved in this too?
Edited to add, yes he was:
