Looking back, I think I bought one reissue this whole year. I found last year's Joan Jett "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" with the live show from RSD 2015. The reason I bought it was a combination of the live show and the fact that my original pressing was so off center I couldn't stand to listen to the inner tracks. The sad thing is, I'll still need an original, because they replaced the iconic original art with a hideous drawn cover.

And that's kind of how it's probably going to remain. Unless something is unobtainium or happens to synch up with something that is trashed in my collection, I'm not going to shell out of my extremely limited budget for reissues.

Now, if some audiophile company wanted to reissue some nice Brit-Folk, I'll let them know which titles I need to replace: Steeleye Span/Below the Salt and Fairport Convention/Liege and Leif.

Deluxe reissue of Roxy Music's debut album remixed by Steven Wilson. It's ready, it just needs to be released!

 

Seriously, all of U2's albums from Zooropa and Passengers through Atomic Bomb should be easily available on vinyl. I don't get why U2 has neglected keeping these albums in print. As for the comment about The Joshua Tree being on a single LP, the OOP double LP reissue is by a big stretch the best sounding vinyl release of that album over any original single LP pressing. Just repress that version, imo.

Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell, Mob Rules

Tony Martin era Black Sabbath vinyl reissues.

Ian Gillan era Black Sabbath Born Again reissue and remix

 

YES PLEASE!!! With his "anti-loudness" mastering that he just used on signify

 

Most of what came to my mind were mentioned

Porcupine Tree on vinyl, expensive to find used, especially in absentia. And the usual blu-ray/hi-res/5.1 remixes by Wilson

Van Hagar albums (would be nice to get some unreleased live stuff and demos from these guys for both Roth and Hagar)

All non-ozzy Sabbath

From as original tapes as possible. Faithful packaging and a detailed book.

 

Supremes A-G0-Go if it doesn't make it this year for the 50th anniversary of this # 1 album

 

Or better yet, the 20th anniversary super-duper reissue of the third reissue of pet sounds...the pet sounds sessions.

 

Seen these...?
Albums That Never Were: The Beach Boys - Adult/Child »

Albums That Never Were: The Beach Boys - Landlocked »

 

I'd take it. Hours of the Wrecking Crew laying down amazing stuff.

 

There's a reissue of Born Again available. I don't know the details and it may even be a bootleg pressing but I almost picked it up last week at a local record store but put it back as the graphics and printing looked somewhat low budget.

 

I'd simply go wild to hear the stems/isolated vocal and instrumental tracks from those sessions. That would be fascinating.

 

A decent analog issue of 'Paris 1919' by John Cale.
