It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: Here's what U.S. law says.

The circular refers to "works" . Although I am no expert on US copyright law, in most countries copyright "works" does not include sound recordings (which have their own separate copyright provisions), but are musical compositions, literary works etc. In fact the circular refers to the period of protection in relation to the author's death which supports this view.

It may be worth pointing out that where a sound recording has entered the public domain this does not necessarily mean that a subsequent re-issue is completely free of copyright as the copyright owner of the musical work may still require payment.
