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.

All four greyed-out songs were originally released on Grant's own ICE label, and the CD version of that comp credits both ICE and what appears to be a compilation-only licensing company of Grant's, so maybe he specifically withdrew the license from Mercury.
