If you can't get them, write and ask for permission to scan them and record the tapes on a PC and burn them on the CD. ( I take it they are reel-reel tapes as (nearly) every music system has a facility to play cassette tapes). Linking either to a PC to record is only a case of a wire with a jack plug at each end anyway, isn't it?.
I'm sure they would let you do this (maybe for a small fee). I'm not sure who has the copyright though. You could certainly do this for yourself. I think, without breaching copyright (for own use) but passing them on to others would need permission. Nice to see someone actually trying to do the right thing.
