Artists who are ripe for a quality vinyl reissue campaign

Borrowed some from others' lists. A lot of these are no brainers, WTF is the problem!

Tool
Nine Inch Nails
Crystal Method (they just had a limited release set that I missed out on)
Chemical Brothers
Aphex Twin (garbage reissues currently available)
Massive Attack
Tricky
The Cure
Eric B Rakim
EPMD
Company Flow
People Under the Stairs

 

Marilyn Manson is another

 

Ween. The Plain Recordings reissues do aren't exactly "quality" from what I've heard, and the imports by Schnitzel are impossible to find.

 

I'd say ELP are due again, aren't they?


Seriously, Stevie Wonder....fix that someone.

 

Frank Black
Ween
Midnight Oil
Paul Weller
Super Furry Animals
Guided By Voices

 

Cracker. Specifically Kerosene Hat, which as far as I can tell has never had an official vinyl release in the US. I figure a lot of people would love to have that.

 

They're already done the half speed remaster of John Martyn's Solid Air... so come on let's have the same for... Bless the Weather, Inside Out, Sunday's Child and One World, in a nice boxed set with all the original covers please?

 

GBV-related releases
Jonathan Richman
Kirsty MacColl
Juliana Hatfield

 

Kirsty would be something I would be interested in, early releases respectively done

 

Supergrass.

 

I totally agree. I think the vinyl came out as a limited release of 1000 pieces, 500 of which were numbered. This definitely needs to be reissued!

 

Paul McCartney. I hear it will be completed "soon".

 

Family

 

Urge Overkill
Meat Puppets London releases
Steel Pole Bathtub
The The
Talking Heads - the last 3
Roxy Music
Tin Machine
Kinks (especially Lola)
Van Halen - Sammy years
Black Sabbath - Dio and Gillian stuff
The Fixx
Split Enz
Squeeze
The Motels
April Wine
38 Special

Ok, I know some of those artists have some can be found easily. I'd buy reissues of most I mentioned anyways.

 

I'm hoping that the upcoming Midnight Oil vinyl reissues will be available individually.

 

Had I seen this thread a few months ago, I would have said George Harrison. Looks like my dreams came true

 

Queensryche

 

Al Jarreau

He just passed so the time is right. Also, "Breakin' Away" could use a little love as it's very quiet. A full reissue campaign would bring more notice to the great stuff he gave us.

Ed

 

The Cure vinyl campaign has been mostly good so far. The Dead Can Dance vinyl reissues have also been good (and quite welcome!). To this list, I'd add Felt.

 

Beatles AAA stereo LPs

 

I would love to see Cocteau's Four Calendar Cafe get a proper reissue.

 

I have my reservations on this one. Universal now owns the rights I believe and they have a nice way of #@%^ ing things up...
+ The old compact disc sounds nice. Think it would be a sideways or less move.

 

U2 - post Joshua Tree
Def Leppard
Paul Simon - Warner catalogue post-Graceland
Pearl Jam - the last three that haven't been issued (Binaural, Riot Act and Avocado), may as well put Lost Dogs out too
George Michael/Wham - I know Listen Without Prejudice is coming out soon but the other albums are mostly out of print and of course the value has gone up since his passing
Janet Jackson - the Virgin years (1993-2006)
Mariah Carey - basically everything
Prince - post-Graffiti Bridge (the latter Warner albums post-SOTT were supposed to be coming out but have been "postponed indefinitely")
Bruce Springsteen - post-Tunnel Of Love
Pet Shop Boys - post-Introspective (I have Behaviour but the other 90s/early 00s albums are very hard to come by.... Nightlife is supposedly being reissued but it's "out of stock" which makes me wonder if it was actually reissued or not)

 

Nightlife I would be interested in if they could pull off a better than the compact disc mastering which I find pretty awful.

 

The Mommyheads, a brilliant under-known San Francisco band whose albums have never appeared on vinyl.
