My impression (and understanding) was that he had legitimate copyright to most of the material he published (certainly true of the Francis Bebey disc). He even tried to have me negotiate a reissue with Jean Bikoko of Cameroon. He is a fascinating man and quite a talker. I used to chat w/ JSR whenever I bought records from him.

So AB I think you're right. Doesn't take away from the fact that they have given me hour of pleasure, especially the Sound of Kinshasa disc.
