Thanks for the beautiful, explication of this issue, Harry !
Obviously, in bringing forth the Liner Notes from As Time Goes By, it was my intention to draw attention precisely to the "CO-"
in the word "Co-owner" ! We all realize what that word implies---what is not known is to what extent that (co-)ownership entails!
The devil is in the details, as they say ! 50% ABC and 50% Karen and Richard Carpenter ? (Who really knows ?).
Didn't John Davidson request an inordinate amount of royalty for his part in the audio-recordings from the specials---thus,
even he has a monetary stake--separate from ABC Television. (Not to mention he was managed at the time by Weintraub,also.)
N.B.: My post is, and was, simply meant to present extant documentary evidence, not to offer an opinion, one side or the other.
