What albums currently unavailable on CD should be rereleased?

Most albums are now available in some form, but there are a few exceptions. Apart from several Norwegian ones (don't bother mentioning all of them here), these are the albums that I miss much:

Dennis Wilson: Pacific Ocean Blue
Neil Young: On The Beach
10cc: Their 80s output (apart from "Ten Out Of Ten", they suck, but I am a completist after all)

Plus stereo versions of the first four Beatles albums and The Kinks' "Face To Face"

Who needs to be reissued?
Albums that shouldn't be out of print...
Perverse Refusal to Release or Reissue Good Material ...

What, even that one?

Mono versions of Help! and Rubber Soul.

"blasting concept" early SST compilations...originally released on CD long ago....way out of print...needs update.

― bryan kennedy (bryan kennedy), Tuesday, 11 March 2003 04:38 (twenty-three years ago)

the Orchids' catalogue should be reissued properly.

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Tuesday, 11 March 2003 04:43 (twenty-three years ago)

everything by The Rats (Fred Cole's Rats), Archie Shepp's "Coral Rock," Charalambides "Market Square"

"Mr. James Brown Gettin' Down to It." Can't believe this hasn't been rereleased, but apparently it hasn't. It's James's lounge-jazz disc, from around '67. He does, among other things, "That's Life" and "Strangers in the Night," backed by piano, bull fiddle, and lounge drums, but nevertheless can't stop himself.

Early (hippie longhairs) Kraftwerk.

Vainica Doble's LPs

Brave New World - Reflections On Reading Aldous Huxley
Eskaton - Everything (well, Ardour has just been made available by Soleil Zeuhl, I think)
Psychotic Waltz - Everything
Opus Avantra - Introspezione and Lord Cromwell Plays Suite For Seven Vices (I'm pretty sure these are OOP anyways, I only have them on tape)
S.O.B. discography
Siege discography
Gong - Peel Sessions
Opus-5 - Both
dISEMBOWELMENT - Transcendence Into The Peripheral (I've heard that it might be rereleased with the dUSK EP quite soon, so you should all buy it then! Well, possibly except you, Geir, since I know you're not exactly a metalfan)
Nomeansno's discography, these should still be fairly easy to get though, as they've only recently gone OOP.

Both Jobriath albums.

― Sean (Sean), Tuesday, 11 March 2003 06:41 (twenty-three years ago)

Lots and lots of jazz albums, especially from the first half of the seventies. A lot of good fusion records are overlooked because fusion eventually turned stale, and today everyone hates it. I'd begin with Eddie Henderson's Realization, Alphonse Mouzon's Funky Snakefoot and Ronnie Foster's Sweet Revival.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 11 March 2003 08:51 (twenty-three years ago)

Tuomas, you're in luck on the Eddie Henderson - it has been reissued (along w/ Inside Out). DustyGroove has it on vinyl and cd (3rd listing down).

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Tuesday, 11 March 2003 08:55 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh cool! I can't wait 'till pay day!

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 11 March 2003 09:04 (twenty-three years ago)

To state the obvious: No New York.

Alice Coltrane: Lord Of Lords & Huntington Ashram Monastry. An affordable western reissue of World Galaxy would be nice too.

Rank & File's "Sundown" and "Long Gone Dead" from the 80s. Classic roots rock albums.
Now I hear they finally will be, on Rhino Homemade this spring. Hooray!

― Jazzbo (jmcgaw), Tuesday, 11 March 2003 14:28 (twenty-three years ago)

"The Complete Buddy Holly" box set
Everything Pussy Galore (Yeah, I know Matador reissued a couple of titles, but I'm talkin''bout the whole freakin' catalog.)
Liz Phair-Exile In Guyville+Girlysound'n'such(ala S+E Luxe & Reduxe)
Nick Lowe-New Stateside versions of "The Jesus of Cool" and "Labour of Lust"
Bob Seger-Everything from 1966-1974 save Noah

― Charles McCain, Tuesday, 11 March 2003 17:03 (twenty-three years ago)

has subway sect been reissued?

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Tuesday, 11 March 2003 17:11 (twenty-three years ago)

personally, i'd prefer 180g vinyl reissues, but i'd really like to have nice-sounding, non-bootleg copies of:

the homosexuals album
the slits - return of the giant slits !!!!! anyone ever heard this masterpiece?
toy love LP
this heat first LP
rip rig and panic's discography
milk from cheltenham triptych of poisoners (another mindfuck classic)

― john fail (cenotaph), Tuesday, 11 March 2003 17:13 (twenty-three years ago)

This Heat's first LP has been reissued a bunch, I think

Rank and File good choice, tho Sundown still lurks in dollar bins once in a while...

― roger adultery (roger adultery), Tuesday, 11 March 2003 17:19 (twenty-three years ago)

it has been, but it's currently out of print.

― john fail (cenotaph), Tuesday, 11 March 2003 17:30 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah I'd love a complete Toy Love collection.

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Tuesday, 11 March 2003 17:35 (twenty-three years ago)

A few more:
The complete Essential Logic
Hackamore Brick-One Kiss Leads To Another
Miles Davis-Jazz Track
Billy Joe Shaver-When I Get My Wings and Gypsy Boy
Kinky Friedman-Lasso From El Paso

― Charles McCain, Tuesday, 11 March 2003 17:55 (twenty-three years ago)

i was actually interested in reissuing the toy love stuff, semi-legitimately, and i got in touch with chris knox who assured me that flying nun would soon be issuing it. this was two, maybe 3 years ago, and still no sign of it. dammit.....

― john fail (cenotaph), Tuesday, 11 March 2003 18:11 (twenty-three years ago)

Toy Love. Flying Nuns definition of "soon" is between right now and the end of the world.
I've been waiting for The Great Unwashed-Collection and hot doggie its back in print!!
I'll say:
Plagal Grind with a buncha bonus stuff because we know the tapes are out there

Opal-Early Recordings. A longtime favorite

Lots Of Sun Ra- isn't alot of these new lps with the paste on cover not legit??

― brg30 (brg30), Wednesday, 12 March 2003 01:09 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes there are lots of incredible Plagal Grind live tapes out there (just copying some of them atm). Theres also heaps of live Toy Love recordings that piss all over their official LP (which doesn't really deserve to be reissued), but stay away from those dodgy Dunedin bootleg CD-Rs.

― hamish (hamish), Wednesday, 12 March 2003 01:27 (twenty-three years ago)

As long as were talking NZ, I'm also looking for that Stephen CD as well as Kilgour's Here Come the Cars

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Wednesday, 12 March 2003 03:40 (twenty-three years ago)

Surely they should still be around? Have you tried smokecds.com? Or ask some NZer to get one from a 2nd hand bin (theres heaps because both those records are terrible).

― hamish (hamish), Wednesday, 12 March 2003 03:48 (twenty-three years ago)

Ha! Well I've tried the usual outlets in the US to no avail. I'd never heard of smokecds- I just checked it and they didn't have the items in question; but thanks for the link, I will be bookmarking that one.

I've never even heard the Stephen so I'm more curious than anything. But I recall liking his 1st solo cd when I heard it, what, 10 years ago. I'm sort of an annoying completist, but I really liked Great Unwashed. Is the Stephen stuff that bad?

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Wednesday, 12 March 2003 03:56 (twenty-three years ago)

well um its not that good but i guess its not that bad. Both those records are less worthy than the Great Unwashed comp and all the Clean ones. His first solo album (which came after Stephen) had some good songs on it but is ruined by the bland production and backing band. The Clean did most of those songs much better but unfortunately never recorded them. Have you tried ordering straight from www.flyingnun.co.nz? Not that i would trust those losers to send off a mailorder...

― hamish (hamish), Wednesday, 12 March 2003 04:17 (twenty-three years ago)

the FN website indicates they've 'outsourced' their mailorder to Smokecds

two years pass...

just posted on the ReR yahoo group:

This is! This heat reissues

This is!

A new label set up by Charles Hayward and Charles Bullen through Chris Cutler's ReR Megacorp to reissue in definitive form all of this heat's published CDs, unavailable since the death of Gareth Williams in 2001,and to prepare and release unheard material from their substantial archive.

The series will start with the first album 'this heat' from 1978 (known as "the blue and yellow"), due out in December, fully re-mastered.

The box

To mark the 30th anniversary of the group's first concert on Friday the thirteenth of February, 1976, This is! will be issuing a limited edition BOX SET comprising all the official releases, newly re-mastered: This Heat, Deceit, Health and Efficiency, Made Available and Repeat, as well as a complete extra CD of previously unreleased material. This will come with a substantial and authoritative book of interviews, articles, rare photographs, memorabilia and documents tracing the history and the work of the group. All of these CDs will also be available singly, and further releases will follow later in the year. Everything will remain in print.

For more information on the label, the box and how to get the advance subscription edition please contact our distributor, ReR Megacorp at [email protected]

"the slits - return of the giant slits !!!!! anyone ever heard this masterpiece?"

This was rereleased in Japan last year and supposed to be coming out in the UK and US early this year. The domestic versions never actually materialised but the import's still readily available.

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 20:49 (twenty years ago)

whoa - awesome. its about time i gave this heat a substantial listen!

― petesmith (plsmith), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 20:54 (twenty years ago)

yep - looks like all that this heat live and unreleased material will be making it's way into our lives as well. if you don't wanna pay for the box then get the remastered s/t in december - it's their most atmospheric release.

― phil turnbull (philT), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 21:05 (twenty years ago)

I can't believe I held a copy of the first This Heat in my fucking hands a few years back and didn't feel like paying the $10 they asked me for it. I rued the day, let me tell you.

I got the Deceit reissue but the first record's been really pricey for a long time, so this is great news. "Health and Effiency" is such a great track.

― Brakhage (brakhage), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 00:21 (twenty years ago)

fifteen years pass...

An attempt was made at reissuing In Darkness There Is No Choice by Antisect almost a decade ago but I didn't manage to get one. Sort it out Southern Records ffs.
