Brother Records & Al Jardine

[duquephart]

Above AGD states that "Bruce handed his (share) back voluntarily." and indicates, it would seem, that there is a distinction between doing so and selling a share back to BRI as DW did. Yet, in a thread I bumped into (Why Did Al Jardine Leave the BB's? ), AGD writes that Bruce " --- used to be (a member of BRI) until he sold his share back --- ", which would seem to be contradictory. Which is it?

I wonder if this whole bit could get cleaned up some. And also --- has the question of who - Bruce or Al - was first admitted to the inner sanctum ever been satisfactorially answered?
