Spottswood Flyright 101 "presented by Robin L. Gosden, Simon A. Napier and Bruce Bastin" In case anybody wonders why the 1978 edition of the Flyright LP has "℗ 1973" on its labels: The "need for putting '℗ 1973' on the label comes about because of the passage of the amending 1978 US copyright act" (Bob Eagle): § 303. Duration of copyright: Works created but not published or copyrighted before January 1, 1978 (a) Copyright in a work created before January 1, 1978, but not theretofore in the public domain or copyrighted, subsists from January 1, 1978, and endures for the term provided by section 302.
