   AA>GP> I have over 2,000 vinyl LPs & 50-odd 45s. . . All older/classic. . .   
       
   AA> About 1200 LPs, and about 500 45s here.   
       
   And then when you pass, your next of kin will get rid of it in the trash bin.

   Try that with "Thick as a brick". Or John Lord's "Gemini Suite", I bought   
   thatone just for the cover.

   We've had that discussion many times and the majority of people, nearly all of   
   them that is, do not understand. As an author you cannot sign-away or sell the   
   creative rights of a piece of music, a book, etc... It stays. The main problem   
   here is the weakness of the english language where "copyright" is a   
   multi-faceted thing understood by most of the not educated into the art as   
   having only one meaning ....   
       
   Way way back in time it was announced that Michael Jackson bought the rights   
   of the Lennon-McCartney portfolio at Northern Music... after that "Yesterday"   
   "She Loves You" "Help" "A hard days night" still mentioned 'Lennon-McCartney'.   
   Michael Jackson was cashing-in on the sale of the music (in english   
   'copyright', in dutch 'commercial rights") but McCartney and the estate of   
   John Lennon were still cashing-in on the airtime (in english "copyright"   
   still, in dutch "creative rights") ...
