I spoke to the head of Rhino Handmade in April 2002 and they had, at that 
point, zero interest in re-issuing the two Rhinoceros albums and told me to 
approach them again when I wanted to do so....then they disappeared. If 
Collector's Choice has the rights, then they WILL release the stuff. I'd be 
interested to see whether the Kensington Market material also ended up in 
their possession....McKie's album would NOT be in their sights as that 
record is owned by True North here in Canada (affiliated label of Universal 
Music). And then there's the Wackers.....God, can't ONE label just get it 
right and release the material before the tapes and the audience is gone?
