These days I see more and more classic jazz records, which apperently have became public domain get distributed by small labels often in cheap re-packages. The mid 50's Prestige and Riverside recordings by Miles Davis, Thelonius Monk , Bill Evans and others are among my favorite records often recorded by Rudy Van Gelder. I have quite a lot on vinyl, but I am always looking out for some records I don't have. I found today in a shop a 5 CD mini vinyl replica boxset with some classic Miles Davis records : Cookin, Digin ,Steamin , Relaxin and Workin. The artwork is really nice and the sound of the CD's is good. There were a couple of other boxsets with more or less the same records. The label is called DOL , with a link to a Russian website www.vinylogy.ru
My question : How does this work technically for example in the case of Miles Davis. To whom belong the Prestige master tapes nowadays and what source does these small companies take for their releases ?
