Has anything ever been released on CD aside from the "Knee Deep in Hits" compilation?

If not, why ever not?

Neneh stopped them, apparently. In the packaging to "Knee Deep," the individual albums are announced as forthcoming in 1994 or whenever, but the kibosh was put on 'em.

Why would Neneh have a problem with it, I wonder.

Maybe she realized people would discover she made something better than Seven Seconds?

(And yes, I know there's Raw Like Sushi and Homebrew.)

Roland Kirk?

You can't copyright an album or book title, so Rahssan Roland Kirk had nothing to do with it.

I was told that Neneh Cherry hadn't actually signed the RR&P deal with Virgin (and you'll notice that on the first album, she wasn't the only singer and thus may not have been considered an "official" member of the band early on - though later she was clearly the "lead" singer) - so it's possible that she had the power to stop Virgin on that basis. There were personality issues and several romances in the band, so who knows. Quite a shame though.

Maybe it's because she was a bit chubby and spotty when she sang with RR&P? I'm not saying that to mean, but suffice to say, she really blossomed between her days with them and her solo debut.

I'd personally doubt reasons of physical appearance; in fact, in most pictures of her from those days (as well asRR&P's appearance on "The Young Ones") show her in pretty good light.
