When I was at the closing sale at Rare Records in Glendale, in '92 (I think), 
omeone there was claiming that the store owned the rights to Apollo's back 
atalog but didn't have too many of the actual records. I wonder if they ever 
id anything in the way of reissues?

 By 1957, Apollo was on it's way out. Hy Siegel has left, and so had their main

 was left to contend with an expensive lawsuit from Hill-Range on her own. Most 
ikely she simply cut a cheap license for
 the Gordon MacRae titles to Enoch Light for release on Colortone. When the 
ape moved from Light to Ampar the rights
 probably didn't transfer with it, although Berman never issued it on her later 
hadow label, Kenwood.
