A lot of the search results mention AGP, which is someone's project of ripping obscure vinyl-only releases by musicians in various "avant garde" genres. One of the very first search results is for an AGP rip of a 1969 record on the Columbia label. I strongly doubt that Sony (owner of Columbia) has deliberately released anything whatsoever in their catalog into the public domain or given it a Creative Commons license. Same goes for Nonesuch (under Warner), the label for a record linked to from the AGP info page, which also happens to mention that they've had some deletions of commercial releases.

So...I would avoid those AGP releases, and I wouldn't blindly assume that everything in the Internet Archive's Community Audio section is necessarily licensed for noncommercial use or is even supposed to be there at all.
