We already have a thread dealing with this question here .

You also may want to read this .

I'd suggest deleting this thread and bringing up the original thread for fresh input .

SESAC stands for Society of European Songwriters, Authors and Composers. It is a performing rights organisation, a tiny competitor with ASCAP and BMI, which collects payments for performing rights from radio, TV and other users of public music. I believe the firm originated in France. Its corporate HQ is now in Nashville.

It used to specialise in representing the interests of those European classical composers whose works were still subject to copyright; very tiny beer. In the 1970s it diversified into Gospel music, and is still important in that area - every one of the tracks on the latest CD by the Georgia Mass Choir (2002) is licensed by SESAC.

The firm has further diversified since then and now represents a number of big songwriters, including Bob Dylan and U2. They also deal in jazz; Joshua Redman appears to be one of their composers.

Their website is at

I am new, so I didn't think to search this thread first. Also, am not quite sure how to delete the thread.

What I was hoping to find was a listing of Sesac LP titles from the 50s and 60s. Has anyone tried to compile such a list?
