Naxos Pulls Historical Recordings From Stores After Copyright Ruling

The independent record label Naxos has asked stores to remove some of its historical recordings from their shelves and return them, a spokesman for the label confirmed today. The recall is part of a settlement with Capitol Records stemming from a copyright-infringement case that Capitol won earlier this year. The case revolved around Naxos's reissues of recordings released by the British label Gramophone in the 1930s featuring Yehudi Menuhin, Pablo Casals, and others. Gramophone is now part of EMI/Capitol
