Hold on. I think I found my answer. I knew I read this somewhere and finally found it.
In Sutton/Nauck's book of American Record Labels it says that Federal (Indestructible's last incarnation) was sold off to Scranton. This then got rolled up in the American Record Corp, which eventually was sold to Columbia and beyond. I'm skipping some details but I think that's where it ended up. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks, Glenn P.S. I have no connection to it but might as well mention that I also went to the Mainspring Press website and found that Sutton/Nauck are about to launch a book this week about Indestructible. What timing! ________________________________ From: Glenn Longwell <[email protected]> To: Antique Phonograph List <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, October 27, 2011 6:36:36 AM Subject: [Phono-L] Corporate Successor to Indestructible Record Co.?? I have an interesting query from someone looking to license a song that was put out on Indestructible cylinder 3509, So Long Oolong by Al Bernard. Is there a successor to the Indestructible catalog? Or would anything on them be in the public domain by now? The song is looking to be used on HBO's Boardwalk Empire.
