I feel you. It wasn't my intent to have it be directly the same time period, I just meant that the song was uncovered 25 years later. But the way I typed it I see what you mean.

Yep, I agree. I don't blame them for not bringing up an unreleased song. But yeah - this is something that should be asked to them directly to give them a chance to respond.
