It was Eldritch's publishing company, right?

That's what I thought too. I hadn't twigged there was a specific Sisters connection until I Googled and found the page on Discogs and it's all Sisters/Sisterhood and nobody else (apart from some group called Poesie Noire that I've never heard of, but closer inspection reveals they're only in the list because they do a cover of Marian).

Not to be confused with Arse Candle or "candlemear", a request to insert a candle or other wax phallus into the oral passage*

*presumably for sexual gratification rather than for any perceived health benefits.

Candle In My Arse

Was the working tiitle of the Elton John song

He later found that he could use the same one to fit both Marilyn Monroe and Lady Di - amazing

Interesting that Stenson was appointed in 1991 (and apparently never active) when Candelmaesse is only mentioned on Sisters recordings from 1984-86 and no longer administers the 84-85 recordings (not sure about the Gift songs).

His alleged co-authorship of Giving Ground might explain why its words are credited only to Copyright Control while the music, and all the words and music to the rest of the album, are credited to Eldritch.

Wasn't he the CEO of that Total Rock Radio station?
Might be worth checking his linkedin profile. Might have some dates in there

Chairman Bux might be the person to ask. IIRC he was some kind of legal eagle... pity no-one seems to have heard from him for yonks.

Steemson was the SISTERS manager, I have also seen him described as MR manager, James Ray Manager and office manager, I am guessing he started working with them early 84 when they signed to WEA as the major label would have required a more business orientated person. (Although not sure Steemson fitted that bill as I have read that James Ray thought him inept!) I believe he left the employment of MR / Sisters sometime around 1991/92 and had heard rumours of money being wasted on frivolous items such as leather bound tour itineraries and other extravagances although I don't know what those were! I don't think he was tour manager as I have never seen him named on the tour itineraries I have seen. He is now indeed the CEO of Total Rock Radio.
