Jimmy Day - Steel and Strings - Master Recordings
Does anyone know who owns/possesses the master tapes of Jimmy Day's "Steel and Strings" and "Golden Steel Guitar Hits"?

This is a guess:
The original recordings were done for Philips, which was a subsidiary of Mercury.
Mercury became part of Polygram in the 1970s.
Polygram was purchased by Universal Music Group in the 1990s.
Universal Music Group has a country operation and group of artists out of Nashville and pop artists elsewhere. That's probably where I'd start to ask around. I would assume Universal has the rights.
You might check the Bear Family CD reissues of the material to see if Universal is credited.
I don't have the slightest idea about physical possession of master recordings, but Bear presumably had access when the two Day CDs were released about 15 years ago.

Jimmy Day
I had his orginal recordings back in the mid 60s and they did not have the voices. I may be wrong but i believe it was Chet Atkins who had the voices added later.
Wasn't this about the time Chet was going pop?
