anyone remember when "True Choice Recordings" tried to release Kraftwerk's 1 and 2 for #RSD2020
they went so far as to buy the domain http://www.truechoicerecordings.com/
and set up some social media

if you were to look at the followers, who that account is following and then see who they have in common it's a safe bet that one person is who Kraftwerk should be having a word with.
this was a bonus find during investigating something else.
the same person behind True Choice is also behind Disco Matto which seems to be cloning the digital output of a few specialist Italo labels.

They say "officially licensed"
They're not.
more on that when the proper channels have done their bit

this might sound familiar then
and yet it's on there, and there and there.

anyone familiar with the sleazy disco classic that is "Walk the Night" by Skatt Bros ?
You'll know the story of how Rockstar Games licensed it for Grand Theft Auto IV ? https://uk.reuters.com/article/us-grandtheft/grand-theft-auto-simplifies-song-purchasing-idUKN0430077120080505

so you'd think that the forthcoming #RSD2020 issue of this would be licensed from Universal Music Enterprises ?
