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.

― "...And the Gods Socially Distanced" (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, September 30, 2020 9:34 PM (three years ago) bookmarkflaglink
This situation changed a couple weeks ago, as that old Slash comp has been replaced by a new 21-track set with a slightly different tracklisting called Mandatory: The Best of... which is copyrighted to "Liberation Hall" and sounds so much better than that old set.
So maybe those albums will follow?

...and speaking of old bands that used to be on Slash, X has gotten rights to and re-uploaded the Live At The Whisky album from '88, pretty much completing their catalogue reclamation, bar Hey Zeus, and I don't think they themselves even care about that one. The second Knitters album also has been removed, but that one was on Bloodshot, so that one might be transitioning back to the band as that label crash unfolds.
The Germs are still MIA (geddit?) aside from the same old dodgy comps and the Rhino Handmade edition of Live At The Starwood (Darby's last show).

In a new post on his Neil Young Archives website, the legendary artist said the end of Spotify’s exclusive deal with Rogan led to his decision to restore his music to the service. “My decision comes as music services Apple and Amazon have started serving the same disinformation podcast features I had opposed at Spotify,” the post reads – a clear reference to the Joe Rogan Experience, though Young never mentions it by name.“I cannot just leave Apple and Amazon, like I did Spotify, because my music would have very little streaming outlet to music lovers at all, so I have returned to Spotify, in sincere hopes that Spotify sound quality will improve and people will be able to hear and feel all the music as we made it,” Young continued, before shouting out Qobuz and Tidal, where his catalog also lives, as “High res” streaming options.

Didn’t Spotify still pay Rogan a huge amount of money to keep producing disinformation? (The fact that it’s not exclusive is even worse, from a certain point of view!)Not to police Young’s decision-making, but the decision (and rationale) is… surprising, I guess, after the stand he took.
