In the latest (number 64) Mainman podcast, reference is made to Tony Defries attempt in mid 73 to end the Chrysalis publishing rights contract with Bowie. The Mainman archive also shows correspondence with Chrysalis to this effect.

However, I see that Diamond Dogs, Young Americans and, I think, Station to Station continued to list Chrysalis as the song publisher. From Low onwards, the publisher would be Bewlay Bros,

What happened? Did Defries secure a better deal from Chrysalis in 1973 that allowed the relationship to continue for a few more years?

Interesting (but very long!) podcast series!
