Sorry, I got it wrong in my last post:
In the UK The Hollies were on Parlophone until 1973.
Maybe they controlled the foreign rights to their recordings.
In the US they went from Imperial to Epic (1967).
In Germany their Parlophone records were released by Hansa/Ariola (Bertelsmann).

JK, for me you are not "only" a musician, but a producer / label owner. But Dave Clark produced himself, so there is no clear cut between the two types.
In 1967 the Hollies went to Epic in the UK, so maybe they own the masters from this period. (Today everything is own EMI)
I own a legal 2CD-Set "The History Of The Dave Clark Five" (50 Great Songs) on Hollywood Records.
The Hollies were a great pop band and made even some good psychedelic songs. And I like their stuff up to the mid 70s (Sandy, Son Of A Rotten Gambler)

The Hollies rock there is more than Carrie-Ann Stop, stop, stop. I like Jennifer Eccles, Bus stop and sorry Suzanne.
They done two tribute albums one The Byrds and the other is Bob Dylan

Sad as they made some fantastic recordings, but DC appears to have been one of the best businessmen in the music industry. I wonder how many "Ready Steady Go" appearances he won't let anyone see either!

But you're right about Dave Clark, I think.
I doubt it with The Hollies though.
Standard EMI contract at the time, I suspect, which means EMI owned the masters.
