I'm talking about the one CD - Best of living after midnight... But that throws the others into question if this particualar CD part of that series is not approved by the band

Contractual fallout with Gull and Epic locked up some of their earlier work and led to the animosity between JP and Gull / Epic. Anything outside these five (save for foreign releases of the same album) were subcontracted out to lesser labels and had absolutely no band involvement save contractual agreements vis a vis the residual $.
