The later release date outside Australia was due to additional sample clearances needed for international markets.

But they could not get sample clearance from Warner Bros. so they shelved the song.

However, problems with the sample clearance prevented "Back To The Bass" from ever being released as a single.

Its initial launch date in 2000 was delayed due to the need for sample clearances and overseas interest.

Accordingly, Public Enemy were not compelled to obtain sample clearance for the album.

The song had been originally planned for release on November 28, but was pushed back for sample clearance.

However, it wasn't included as sample clearance could not be secured.

It is also possible that, with the issue of sample clearances for the album yet to be handled, such a concept could have proved incredibly expensive.

But this guy, not only were we going to pay him for the sample clearance but he was trying to change lyrics.

Hillary Rosen, the association's president, said that now a band without sample clearance can still make a case to get its CD pressed.
