I think Sanctuary is administering the Pye/Reprise Kinks rights in the States now. The first three albums were reissued here in the early 2000s via a partnership with BMG. Now they are hooked up with Universal, but perhaps they feel anyne who cares will pick up their imports, which are fairly well distributed here.

I assume that at least part of the reason RTX have jumped to Fat Possum (after a lifetime on DC) is they want their stuff to be available on Spotify etc., and FP is doing “digital reissues” of the old albums.

Most of the releases on Tzadik. As far as I can tell, the only one on there is "Mayim Rabim" by Ayelet Rose Gottlieb and some stuff that's been available through other labels as well (e.g. Pharaoh's Daughter's "Out of the Reeds")John Zorn in general, though at least that great Sonny Clark Memorial Quartet record is on there.
Diamanda Galas' back catalogue has disappeared somewhat recently -- now there's just the two 2017 records.Devil Doll's never been available, but I guess they(/he) always made a point of limiting the availability of their records.
On the positive side: there's a ton of Magma on Spotify now. (Seventh Records editions, which I gather are the "proper" ones now, not the Charly releases)

Poking into a little corner of stuff I'm interested in -- I find almost no Henry Cow (just a Peel Session), no Art Bears, very little Bob Drake, no Hail/Susanne Lewis, etc. A good amount of Fred Frith, but mostly albums from the 2000s. Is it possible that the ReR/Cuneiform scene is not generally represented on Spotify?
Btw - French Frith Kaiser Thompson's "Life, Love, Larf & Loaf" (one of my favorite albums!) is actually on here -- but credited to "By various artists," so hard to find unless you search one of the song titles...
