I hope I read that right, because the originals need to be preserved as a part of music history and not dispersed around the world.
It goes to show you that by Sony/BMG who acquired Columbia Records in 1988 by digging through the Columbia archives to find ways of generating more money means music sales must be WAY OFF.
