You mean the CD that was sold or the performance? As you have noticed, the rights to the performance were never transferred, so there is no requirement of the copyright owner to "take it back". As for the single CD sold, I don't think there is enough extrinsic value in the individual CD to make that an issue. I suppose if it were the only copy in existance, like if the original and all other copies were destroyed in some freak accident, then maybe the copyright holder might ask to use it to make a copy for himself. But I can't imagine that ever being the case. If that's what you're talking about though, it's an interesting issue to ponder. I think the CD owner would probably allow the copyright owner to have access, unless the person with the CD was terribly vindictive or something.
