Fascinating reading regarding copyright renewals.

I wonder about some sound recordings....a friend of a friend (who is
deceased) recorded a number of albums and singles in the late 1970s for a
label in the UK that went belly up in 1980.  None of the records she made
(her recording career spanned 1974 to 1982) were ever legitimately released
on CD.  (Her first two albums had been rereleased in 1976 on a dodgy budget
label that has since made very poor needledrop CDs of them, but I digress).

As this performer is deceased, her father is executor of her estate;
wouldn't the rights to these recordings, particularly the late 1970s
material on the defunct label, belong to the singer's estate?
