This is mostly a European concept. I do not know if it has been adopted by the US courts. 

So where DID the court ruling occur that Clifford_Thornton alluded to? 🤨

I was being facetious of course, but seeing these kind of collectors' prices when the artists were barely making a living is depressing.

That True Blue price would have been a little under $700 in 1960. I doubt Tina made that much from sales of the LP in his lifetime.

Unless I missed it, I didn’t see Clifford mention a specific lawsuit.

Remember how The Rhythm & Blues Foundation mounted legal actions that resulted in some of the 50s greats getting paid respectable amounts for unpaid back royalties?

But it seems like that would be apples and pears to compare crooked record companies and bad faith contracts to shrewd art buyers/investors, no? Unless, again, there was something in the original terms of sale.

Maybe those guys need a union.
