Sonobeat
Recording Company no longer exists although its singles
and albums remain highly sought after by collectors
and Austin music aficionados around the world. Co-founder
Bill Josey Jr. left the company in 1970 to attend
law school and since 1977 has been an
entertainment industry attorney and business executive
in Los Angeles. Co-founder Bill Josey Sr., who
operated
Sonobeat as a sole proprietorship beginnning in mid-1970, succumbed
in September 1976 to cancer.
This web site is for historical value only. Audio clips,
text, photos, and other source material used on
this
web site are in the care and custody of Josey family
members, are on loan to Sonobeat.com, and
may
not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed
without written permission. The Josey family inherited
Bill Josey Sr.'s belongings, which included many tapes
and Sonobeat memorabilia. As Bill Josey's heirs,
the Josey
family owns the physical tapes and sound recordings,
but does not claim copyright ownership of any
compositions that
artists
recorded
with Sonobeat. Many tapes are unplayable due to their
poor physical condition. Playable tapes are carefully
being
transferred
to digital format for preservation and historical purposes.

-- including former Sonobeat recording artists and
their managers -- whose generous contributions of
background information
and anecdotes, factual corrections, photos, and additional
materials have added to the breadth and depth of this
web site.
