Why can some of this stuff not be sold?

someone else probably owns the rights to the records now. much like how SST is sitting on tons of old stuff they can't sell.

This confuses me. I know this happens, but I have no idea why. I can see a band moving to a new label with their back catalog, but how can the previous label not be allowed to sell units that they already had pressed?

Or is it just bad/breached contracts?

because they probably got cease and desist orders so they had X amount of days to liquidate the stock and after that they were supposed to destroy the remaining stock... I'm fairly sure that Touch and Go, Asian Man, Sub Pop... all have releases that this happened with.
