I think it's safe to say that it was legally licensed to the label that
put it out (Magnum?) by Frenchy, who was legally entitled (as owner of
Flicknife) to license the Flicknife material to other labels.  As we well
know, just because a lawyer (or a judge) says that something is legally
correct, doesn't mean that it's morally *right* (or even true).

Of course, it wouldn't be listed as a "core" album, since it's compiled
from three sources.
