  Three Gut Records - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Three Gut Records is a Toronto, Ontario, Canada based independent record label.
It was founded in 2000 by Lisa Moran and Tyler Burke as a vehicle for releasing albums by their friends; it became an influential player in Canadian music with the breakout success of The Constantines' self-titled 2001 release on the label.
Other artists currently on Three Gut include Royal City, Cuff the Duke, Jim Guthrie and Gentleman Reg.

 CONSTANTINES
The first pressing of the Constantines' self-titled debut (released on Canadian indie Three Gut Records in 2001) was fittingly packaged so that, upon opening the red cardstock booklet, you'd find a single strike-anywhere match.
While the record was only very barely available here in the U.S., those that went to the trouble of tracking it down were suitably impressed.
And the new record is ambitious, combining a steady diet of ‘90s DC rock (like a Joe Strummer-fronted Fugazi, it’s been suggested), with dub-inflected bass, blue-eyed soul and a fundamental punk, anytime/anywhere aesthetic (perhaps best described by drummer Doug MacGregor as, “Like an unwelcome mix of a Memphis Clash and breakneck dub”).

However, that fee went to ECM Records, who owned the rights to the recording; Newton's suit claimed that the trio screwed him over by not paying a separate fee directly to him for his part in writing the piece.
Moreover, ironically, they said that Newton's skill and finesse in playing his own song meant that the primary value in the sample lay in the particular recording Newton made (which the Beasties bought the rights to fair and square) and not in the notes-on-paper "underlying composition" that Newton was suing over.
