>From Dan Nelson: "...I am curious  why  Decca Recods and  Muzak background
would invest money in buying  Radio station music
library companies, i.e  World and Associated.  I dont
know if there were others.
If  Decca and Muzak wanted the music  why not just
buy/lease the music?..."

If the music library owners wanted out, they probably wanted to sell the
entire company to the highest bidder. It's also possible that it was much
cheaper to buy the company than to negotiate new contracts with the
composers.
