It gets more interesting.  Check out http://www.ompplc.com/ and

One Media Publishing is a British based intellectual property licensing
organization that seems intent on buying up the world.  The Dave Case
Collection is a new series of 1000 albums "compiled" by this 1970s
pirate station DJ.

I would suppose that things that were still in copyright have been
licensed, but that they probably  avoided doing that for the pre-1960
recordings -- but those would still not be PD here in the U.S. It could
be the Naxos case all over again.  But in the meantime they are going to
claim that THEY own everything, or at least Orchard is going to do the
claiming in the U.S. just because they import the CDs.

I think I figured it out. Both Roger and I are correct. Look at this 
http://www.theorchard.com/artist/121730/releases 
They are selling a CD from what seems to be a British reissue label One
Media Publishing Ltd. from the "Dave Cash Collection" who confused the
two Jimmie Rodgers and has BOTH on this CD!!
Plus there is another CD which is of the correct singer and has a bunch
of blue yodels on it.

With their logic, they would enjoin SONY from using the recordings!!!!! 
You could probably get them in trouble with Sony for their admitted
parallel importing of their recordings. Remember, it is legal for an
individual to buy single copies of CDs from overseas, but NOT legal for
a company to import multiple copies for sale.
