I have a friend, her name is Ila Vann [[check out her Facebook page!). She's a soul / R&B singer who recorded for Roulette Records in the 60's. She turns 80 this month.
I've tracked down some session logs, it seems that she recorded two songs for Roulette that were never released: COME AND TAKE ME BY THE HAND [[1967) and CAN'T CHANGE HORSES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREAM [[1968).
I know this is an extremely long shot - but it would be really great to somehow have her hear them while she's still around. She doesn't remember recording them.
How does one go about getting unreleased songs out of the vault? She has a following in the U.K. on the Northern Soul scene - I've contacted a few companies to see about getting them released on a compilation but there doesn't seem to be much interest.
Does the 50-year unreleased copyright rule come into play here at all? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm assuming that the master tape has never been transferred - who knows if it was even mixed for a release...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
