I don't know yet ? 

I'm trying to get to the bottom of the PTV "Ov Power" release for Genesis
P-Orridge.  If I remember correctly there was no mention of it being a
licensed track or even credited as a Psychic TV track on the TigerSushi
release.

Apparently, TigerSushi claims they licensed it from Some Bizarre which could
be true.
If they are licensing stuff from Some Bizarre then you are dealing with
crooks.  Apparently they are not aware of the Coil and PTV relations with
Some Bizarre ?  Not to mention everyone else that used to deal with Stevo.
I mean Coil went to the trouble of releasing some of their Some Bizarre
releases with this printed across the front "When are you going to pay us
our royalties, Stevo ?"  I would have assumed you would have noticed that.

Why didn't they just contact the artists directly ?

telepathic regards,
