Sampling Old Production/Stock music

I recently stumbled across a dope track j^p^n - bloom. [] that samples some production music "Charlie Steinmann Orchestra - Born in Spring". Im posting today because I googled the original sample and could barely find anything on the track other than the composer and the song title, no record label. After looking at some other old production music compilations, I couldn't find any way to see if they're copyrighted or not. Are these libraries up for grabs as far as sampling or are they protected by some invisible copyright that I'm not seeing? Asking for a friend or two to chime in.

If they are not safely in the public domain (about 100 years since copyright), then they are under protection-- nothing "invisible" about it. Someone owns the rights. Understand your risks.
