Slight correction there: Spapad was right that Gull Records owns the rights to he first two albums and any demo recordings they made during that era. However, as the original writers of the songs, they kept the full rights to perform (and re-record if they wanted to) any of the RR/SWoD songs. That's why a few SWoD tracks (Victim of Changes, The Ripper, Tyrant and Genocide) remained in the setlist throughout the 70s, although Rocka Rolla was completely ignored after 1976 (before Never Satisfied was played this year). Tyrant and Genocide were permanently dropped in '82 to renew the setlist, but VoC and The Ripper have remained to present day.
An example: a couple of RR and SWoD tracks were featured on Metalogy, and Sony had to pay licensing fees to Gull for those. If they had re-recorded them, or used live versions of them (if they would exist), they wouldn't have had to pay anything. That's why all Sony/Columbia compilations usually use the Unleashed in the East versions of SWoD tracks and completely ignore RR.
I do wonder though, that how they have settled things with Gull regarding the upcoming Studio Albums boxset, as it also includes RR and SWoD, supposedly in remastered format as well.

The one exception is Diamonds and Rust because it was a remake of a Joan Baez song, therefore no copyright infringment. They just pretty much abandoned any performance of those songs since they had zero desire to pay money to Gull, who offered them no support in their formative years. That is why there a bazillion resales of the Gull label songs with so many different jackets...........They are just trying to make a buck off a band they exploited many years ago.

It's a long story, and even I don't fully know it all, but due to legal issues, they are not included in the remasters packet. I think someone else here might be able to explain much better why.

The CD that has the last "S" is Ram it Down, while British Steel has the first "S". And yes, there is a CD that only has the space between Judas and Priest. That would be Point of Entry.
