In 1979, Emmylou sued Emus records and various other defendants for copyright infringement connected to the re-release of this record. (See EMMYLOU HARRIS, dba HANNAH BROWN MUSIC and EMMYLOU HARRIS,Plaintiff-Appellees, v. EMUS RECORDS CORPORATION, ROULETTE RECORDS, INC.,et al., [readily available on the web.) Here is some language from the decision by the US District Court for the Central District of California:

"In 1971, Jay-Gee filed a petition for bankruptcy. A year later, Jay-Gee's trustee in bankruptcy sold parts of Jay-Gee's assets -- including the master tape of the six songs comprising the Gliding Bird Album -- to defendant Suellen Productions, Inc. Suellen then transferred whatever rights it had acquired to manufacture and distribute the recordings on the Gliding Bird album to defendant Emus Recordings. Emus re-released a duplicate of the Gliding Bird album in 1979 *with a new serial number and a different cover*.

"Defendant Roulette Records, Inc. was licensed by Suellen[**4 and Emus to license foreign sales of the Gliding Bird album. Roulette provided a master to foreign manufacturers who were to manufacture and distribute the album.

"Harris has never received any royalties for the Gliding Bird album from the defendants. In November 1979, she demanded that defendants cease the manufacture and distribution of the songs. She then sued defendants for copyright infringement."
