Hi guys
I feel my posts here are transparent... or that my English is not good enough to be understood...
Unless Dreyfus onws also the rights on the Multitrack tapes, He only owns the rights for the Master Tape (stereo mix). The master.
If JMJ owns the Multitrack tapes and the rights to use them, he can do all the different mix re-mix, edits and new recordings.

There's nothing Wrong with your English,this is what I have said in my Posts,any record company will own a master stereo Mix,Very rarely does any Contract involve the handing over of any Mulitple takes or recordings or Mix sessions unless contracted to do so,Jarre Must have multiple versions of the Mixes either in singular track form or Mixdown,he used them for Past concert versions that still retain the Original Album elements,And the AERO Album is a prime example of him having those Original track Versions at least(Oxygene 2 for sure)so whats to stop him using them for this Recording??
this is exactly what I have been trying to portray that Dreyfus cannot prove that this master recording is a direct copy of what he has for Publishing if he only has the master copy,Jarre could simply transfer those single tracks or mixes he had into protools and mixdown a Newer slightly altered Mix which he has done and edited it too.and thats a newer version he could pass off as rerecorded and no-one could prove otherwise.why didn't he pounce on Jarre for some of the AERO tracks??they are after all the same Byproduct as this Oxygene just with a different Mix and a Few added elements.they are still based on the original Track elements to which Dreyfus Published.
it not like they can analyze the Oxygene albums side by side because they're two different Mixes,so even audio and waveform match Quality software wouldn't be able to correlate them so I don't see how Dreyfus has a case,unless there is something deeper to the legal wrangling
JMJ wouldn't do something without thinking about the repercussions given he would know of the consequences of something so serious if it was ever alleged like it has been,he hasn't released this lightly or stupidly.
