HFA is the foremost mechanical licensing, collection, and distribution agency for U.S. music publishers. Its site says:


http://www.harryfox.com/public/mechanicalLicense.jsp


If you are manufacturing and distributing copies of a song which you did not write, and you have not already reached an agreement with the song's publisher, you need to obtain a mechanical license. This is required under U.S. Copyright Law, regardless of whether or not you are selling the copies that you made.


You do not need a mechanical license if you are recording and distributing a song you wrote yourself, or if the song is in the public domain. If you are not sure if the song you are looking to license is in the public domain, and therefore does not require license authority, we suggest you use the search on www.pdinfo.com.


I am creating a playlist of original and cover back to back. I only want songs I know both the cover and original already and are consistant with my taste. The exception would be where many people think the cover is the original, like "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You" by Joan Baez covered by Led Zeppelin. Here is what I have so far, in no particular order. I am looking for quality over quantity. Thanks.
