Well, as I work for Madacy, and manage their intellectual property, and
have a copy of the purchase agreement, I would disagree in this case.
It may be the case with other masters he had, and Bernie Solomon was
notorious for trying to sell his catalogue multiple times (it used to be
a joke at the NARM (music retailers) convention that Bernie would show
up every year to find a new buyer).

It is my understanding that Everest (Solomon) has agreements that are
non-exclusive. That may explain some of the confusion.

All very interesting..which reminds me, I need to bother Compendia
again
about some old royalties they still owe me for the stuff I did when
they
were still Intersound. And fascinating to know that Madacy is no
longer a
pirate label. A lot of their "rights" were very debatable, and there
was a
time when you could find the identical recordings on Madacy and
Laserlight, right down to the clicks and pops from the original LPs
they
stole.

Sheridan Square Entertainment does still exist, with new owners, and

based in Nashville, TN, now and still is overseen by Michael Olsen.
They still own the rights to the Vanguard catalogue, and I know
independently that portions of this catalogue are being exploited
privately online (as there is no formal agreement as of yet, I
believe,
between the parties, I won't go into the details). As for the
Everest
jazz and classical catalogues, of which there has
been recent discussion, these were purchased from Bernie Solomon by
Madacy Music Group (now Madacy Entertainment LP) based in Montreal,
and
SOME of the 35mm masters have been licensed to Classic Records of Los
Angeles. Madacy owns all worldwide rights to these recordings and
master tapes.
