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 heard the Homestead guy trashed a bunch of the master tapes(?) Like when Sebadoh III was reissued, they had to use a 2nd-generation source for the master (which is f’in tragic — for that of all albums). I wonder if that has anything to do w/it.

Yeh, I dunno? I actually went looking and found loads of other well-known IRS stuff on the site (Concrete Blonde, Wall of Voodoo, REM, Fine Young Cannibals etc.). And theoretically there shouldn't be a rights issue, as the album was produced under IRS's distro deal w/MCA, who Carlisle moved over to for Heaven On Earth. You can get "Mad About You" and some of the other singles from the album via the two (almost identical btw) Belinda hits comps available on the site.
― a large tuna called “Justice” (C. Grisso/McCain), Sunday, 24 February 2019 21:08 (one month ago) Permalink
I don't know about the others, but Concrete Blonde has released all their albums again themselves. I don't know if the rights reverted from IRS and Capitol or not (and does IRS even still functionally exist?). Maybe the Belinda debut is hung up in some limbo somewhere because no one knows where the money goes.

― brimstead, Sunday, 24 February 2019 22:57 (one month ago) Permalink

Nope. They initially folded in the mid-'90s under EMI's stewardship, who then revived the label in the early '10s, first as an outlet for Blogger-Indie stuff, and then as a Alt-Country (!) concern that also went quickly under. AFAICT, everything IRS is under the Universal Music umbrella now, due to them owning A&M (who controlled the '85-back catalogue) and EMI ('86-up). FWIW, I noticed on the AMG--not the best source, yes--they credit Belinda as being on EMI International. So you're probably right about nobody know where the money goes within the company.
In other news, I noticed the first two Dramarama LPs (which Rhino reissued w/extras in the '90s) aren't up.
