https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgl7ld1glk3oFor those not wanting to click the link, here's a bit from the article: Rescuing songs takes a lot of work. Contracts have to be checked, original recordings have to be sourced, and streaming services require reams of metadata.
But when it works, artists are thrilled.
“Rob’s incredible. What he’s done for me, I would do anything for him,” says Maria Nayler.
Known for singing Robert Miles' 1996 hit One And One, Nayler's story is a classic tale of music industry misogyny.
After singing on dozens of trance anthems in the 1990s, she was signed to Kylie's then-label, DeConstruction Records. But when the company found out she was pregnant, it scrapped her debut album.
“They went, ‘We’re not releasing any records while you're pregnant. It's gone on the shelf until the baby’s born.’
“Then, of course, nine months down the line, nothing happened.
“In this day and age, they would all be slaughtered, but in the 1990s I just accepted it.”
Johnson was a fan of Nayler’s single Naked and Sacred, and contacted her in 2018 to ask if she wanted help liberating her unreleased material.
“I was a bit like, ‘Who is this guy?’,” she laughs, “but he knew more about my music than I did.”
It was a tough project. DeConstruction had been bought by BMG, then acquired by Sony, and eventually closed down. No-one was sure who owned Nayler’s master tapes.
“It was a nightmare,” she says. “No-one wanted to talk to Rob.”
Out of options, she sent a blanket email to 75 people at Sony. Within two minutes, the archive team replied and agreed to track down the music.
Nayler’s album, She, was finally released in January 2023. Next month, she goes on tour with dance producer Robert Gillies, who has remixed Naked & Sacred for his next single.
“After all these years and all that hard work, I just feel really, really happy,” she says.

We read that the other day on a news feed. Thanks for posting it here. We’ve run across artists for which we have CDs and, gasp, cassette tapes 😀 that have not appeared on streaming platforms. Other than unresolved contractual issues it’s hard to fathom why they would not be distributed.
