Wow, didn't realize DoA had material dating back to 1979.

[BigManRestless]

No mention of the sources. I'd be amazed if masters have been used for the singles.

This material is now owned by Cherry Red, not licensed from a third party, with the exception of the BBC recordings. Given 16 tracks on have never been released previously (ie. they can't get them from anywhere else, like vinyl), master tapes must have been involved. That's what I'm hoping, anyway.
