    By "once," I mean multiple formats are OK, but all needed to happen simultaneously, in the year of release, and there were no subsequent reissues, even if just to add a format. Subsequent international releases are OK, but they all needed to happen in the year of home-country release, or very soon thereafter.

    This could be a way to find some lesser-known recommendations.

    A few of mine:

    Ghost - Snuffbox Immanence
    Gastr Del Sol - Camofleur
    Happy Family - self-titled
    Curlew - Bee

    Redd Kross' Show World and Phaseshifter would have qualified up until about a month ago, when Third Man gave them the vinyl treatment.

    The Figgs' two major label albums - Lo-Fi At Society High and Banda Macho - have been out of print since their initial releases in the mid '90s, though they are out there digitiall, I think. Not sure if that's a disqualifier.

    The Smashing Pumpkins - Machina

    This one came out early 2000 - so it doesn't really qualify, but the reissue STILL hasn't came out and it's generally unknown to non fans

    Released once by the artist?

    There're plenty of examples. No anniversary editions or the likes

    But re-print CDs count? (no remaster). If so, then the list is very, very short
