Arkonbey: It's possible the rights expired for the non-licensed records… but the licensed stuff… the super heroes, TV shows, and cartoons… that's another matter entirely, I'd imagine. While the recordings themselves may not have current copyrights, the characters would. It's not like those are old enough that they would be entirely public domain.

I had an Emergency! and a Star Trek album among others. I gave them to a DJ I worked with back in '00 and he never used them for anything. How could you NOT spin those?

I regret it now.

@Jon K. Are the rights expired? Could someone do a garage release, do you think?

This ad makes my mouth water. Is that weird?

Well, I don't recall seeing that specific display, but I do have fond memories from my childhood in the early to mid 1970s of seeing displays of all those wonderful records, and the promises of entertainment they made... and kept, in the cases of the all-too-few records my family purchased and listened to over and over again.

It's sad that there will never be an authorized re-release of these on CD, perhaps in boxed sets. I know a few of them have been sporadically re-released, but not nearly enough of them!
