Yes you need to have records of who played on what and when and of course
under what contract terms. As you know the guy who played the sax solo on
GerryRafferty's Baker Street was offered royalties on the session but took a
session fee to help pay his bills. Both Gerry and Raf Ravenscroft are now
dead, but many times during his life he came to regret not going for
royalties...

However, I find myself wondering who keyed in the information to make it
available. When was it done and what was the incentive - who owned it,
etc.

That depends on many things, smaller band will do this sort of stuff
themselves including art work and videos, and will write their won music
and lyrics.

While some of the larger more 'popular' might well have people write and
do everything for them.
