It's hard to say what is happening with the rights, but unless Perlon was on top of things, its possible that Neuton or someone at the company may own the rights to the Perlon back catalog, which would hold them back from releasing re-issues.
I know this was often the case with Prime's closure. A lot of labels lost their money, their inventory, and their rights to the old label material. Maybe not being able to re-press a lot of that music was a good thing. Hahaha.
i'd be surpised if Neuton had the rights to the back catalogue
if you have no p&d, the distro's only role is to distribute and has no exploitation rights whatsoever
those rights are only owned by the label
and even with a p&d, the distro shouldn't own any rights at all
they just press and distribute, the label holds all exploitation rights
the rights is something between the label and the artist
the distro has nothing to do with that... unless you signed a transfer of rights to the distro, but that would be a foolish thing to do!
