The late Marshall Sehorn of New Orleans declared Bankruptcy in 2000, his wife Barbara Darcy owned Cape Ann Music, Inc the defunct publisher of several songs in "Monument aka Sound Stage 7" catalogue, additionally, owned Darcy Music, Inc the defunct label who purchased several "Monument aka Sound Stage 7" master recordings.
One could easily get the impression that none of the issues of any recording of any of Al Reed's songs by any record company in the world were properly authorized; pray tell, Mr./Mrs./Ms./Whatever Grufft, which releases were authorized, because I'm struggling to find anything listed either here or at Discogs that doesn't have a copyright dispute against it, and I refuse to believe that they were all unauthorized, because that is just not credible. Though to be fair, I am automatically suspicious of any releases via Charly, because of their past misuse of the Chess catalogue, involving the late Marshall Sehorn of New Orleans, who seems to have been involved in the Sound Stage 7 catalogue too.
Charly produced and distributed Al Reed "How Sweet It Is" unauthorized, excluding the Mechanical License issued by Chervalin the copyright owner registered with HFA and the U.S. Copyright Office.
