    This is an interesting record label. Milton Glaser - best known for his I HEART NYC and Bob Dylan poster - designed most of the album covers and I enjoy seeing some of his arts, even if some of the music doesn't interest me at the slightest bit. Where did the rights to reissue some of the other albums go, aside from Al di Meola's deal with earMusic and Townes Van Zandt's estate's struggle against Kevin Eggers?
