Strange. I thought that apart from the early singles that Paul now owns the rest wwere all lumped in together and owned by Who/what ever looks after them now Wacko's gone. I guess they must have just hived off a few. Didn't Penny lane copyright stay with the guy who bought them from Dick James 'cause it was his daughters fav. song?
