[78-L] Coast Records

[Jeff Sultanof]

Bantam would have been his own record label; when the songs came up for
renewal, his estate put his share in the Bantam catalog. No doubt he sold
the recordings. Makes sense.

All of this suggests to me that he paid for these sessions himself and
issued them on his own label, then sold or leased them elsewhere.

Thank you,
Jeff
