I think what happened is that WAx Trax grew very fast, but many of their acts went to major labels and Wax Trax needed money fast to make up for lost income of those bands. So, they licensed much of their catalog to TVT. Wax Trax is still a viable label, but are back where they were several years ago--trying to break new bands. stu 8)
