New release - Martha & The Vandellas - Watchout CD + Live!

From the discogs page:
"Oldays Records is a Japanese reissue label, run by Clinck Co., Ltd. [[president, Kazuo Nagano). All releases are consistent with Japanese laws, where copyrights expire after 50 years."

So they're public domain releases in Japan, which means they should be needle drops. I avoid these unless it's music I really want and there's no other way to get it. I don't have any cds from this label.

I just googled a bit, it seems there were changes a couple of years ago to Japanese copyright law to bring them more in line with other countries - it could be that sound recordings made in or after 1968 are protected for 70 years, but I'm not sure. Both of these albums were released before 1968.

I see Oldays has already been discussed a couple of times in this forum:

I can verify that these recordings are needle drops. I erroneously bought a Christmas CD by Brenda Lee last year and was sorely disappointed with the sound quality. I saw the original artwork and thought it was the MCA/Decca version.
