Reader's Tapes Froom Concertina And Squeezebox?

[Bob]

Concertina and Squeezebox Magaziine has been defunct for some time but whatever happened to the recordings that were produced in conjunction with the magazine? More appropriately, the publishing rights to the recordings. Bob

I know that attempts were made to obtain the C&S archives from Joel Cowan (by Rich Morse among others) which should include the readers tapes recordings, but I don't think they came to anything.

I believe that I have a full set of these, hardly played, and would be willing to lend them for copying. From the previous thread it seems that the rights are not a problem, though it would probably be a good idea to check with Geo again before proceeding.

My copy of "Son of Readers" was right handy, so I checked. I found no claim of copyright on the tape, the cover, or the included track list. I believe that publication without a copyright notice makes it public domain, and people are free to copy it at will. Of course, if you copy all or part of it, others would also be free to copy your copy.

 

Make sure you identify the individual artists and pieces, though.

I believe I had "Son of Readers Tape" I never had the first one. I slap wore out my copy, lent it to someone and never got it back.

 

 

Capt'n Salley, give us permission to revive that piece of history?

I have 3 tapes, "Original Readers' Tape, "Bride of Readers' Tape", and "Son of Readers' Tape". I haven't listened to them much because the recording quality is poor.

 

 

I recorded one of the track, Alf Edwards & Co (Bass & Treble English) called "A Nautical Melody" Composer unknown. I have placed the mp3 on my web page here. It's a great tune.

I finally got a chance to dig my set out and (literally!) dust them off. I've got these three and one more: Revenge of Reader's Tape, which features 7 tunes by Jody Kruskal and is the only one with a copyright mark on the cassette or the case (c 1992 Concertina & Squeezebox). I've got the liner notes for all of them too.

 

I'd still be happy to lend these for archival copying if Geo gives the ok.
