Screaming Blue Messiahs - Gun Shy

― dave225 (Dave225), Monday, 10 February 2003 13:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

four months pass...

Does anyone know what exactly happened to Infinite Zero (the label set up by Henry Rollins and Rick Rubin designed specifically for the re-release of crucial-yet-heretofore out-of-print albums)? Why did they go belly-up?

Eddie Palmieri: Lucumi, Macumba, Voodoo
Riad el-Sounbatti: [not sure of exact title, but his collected oud taksim (i.e., solo improvisations--shame on the Egyptian music business for letting the solo recordings of this master go out of print]
Ingram Marshall: The Fragility Cycles
Paul Dresher: Liquid and Stellar Music (more Frippish guitar--and some of the best in that mode--though he claims to have developed the sound independently of Fripp, and anyway, studied with avant-garde/modern classical types)

Probably, Jerome Cooper: The Unpredictability of Predictability, though I don't feel 100% sure I would like it now. (I only heard parts of it on the radio--long ago.)

― Rockist Scientist, Saturday, 29 November 2003 23:31 (twenty years ago) link

Also, Stefan Weisser's "Editededitions & Contexts" or whatever the exact name is should be reissued on CD. (It's not nearly enough to fill up a CD, but I'm sure he could scrape up some other archival recordings that would be compatible.)

― Rockist Scientist, Saturday, 29 November 2003 23:47 (twenty years ago) link

There is no good reason why these albums have not been reissued in shiny new deluxe remastered editions:

Starsailor - Tim Buckley
Lick my Decals off baby - Captain Beefheart
Like an old fashioned waltz - Sandy Denny
Rendezvous - Sandy Denny
Planxty - Planxty
Henry the Human Fly - Richard Thompson
Hokey Pokey - Richard and Linda Thompson
Pour Down like Silver - Richard and Linda Thompson

Both volumes of Devo's Hardcore.

The KLF, I guess?

― Girolamo Savonarola, Sunday, 30 November 2003 01:35 (twenty years ago) link

Joel Chadabe: Rhythms

― Rockist Scientist, Sunday, 30 November 2003 01:37 (twenty years ago) link

Ultravox, everything John Foxx era, was out of print last I checked. It's not good that people will believe "Vienna" was that band's first album!!

China Crisis was nowhere to be found on CD when I was looking early this year, I had to get the vinyl off ebay.

― sucka (sucka), Sunday, 30 November 2003 03:42 (twenty years ago) link

Vanity Six debut. Alas it is and I can't get ahold of it (unless I pay *too* much money)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2575969142&category=306

Granted, there's still over a day left, but "Drive Me Wild" alone is worth at least twenty bucks.

Grand Buffet - Scrooge McRock - just scored a copy today after spending almost a year looking.

JOhn, I scored a copy not long after I posted that. And I didn't have to pay *too much money*. Now I am longing after SPolitti.

The Move: Message To The Country
Dennis Wilson: Pafific Ocean Blue

+ several Norwegian ones.

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Monday, 1 December 2003 13:30 (twenty years ago) link

And, yes, why wasn't "From Luxury To Heartache" included in the last Culture Club reissues. It is by far a much better album than "Waking Up With The House On Fire".

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Monday, 1 December 2003 13:34 (twenty years ago) link

Howard Tate - Get It While You Can: The Legendary Sessions

only came out in 1995 on Verve, but impossible to find.

― Jonathan (Jonathan), Monday, 1 December 2003 13:36 (twenty years ago) link

The db's Like This and The Sound of Music. I know Stamey had left the group but these are my 2 favorite db's cds. It took a long time to find SOM on cd to replace my album. I have been tempted to sell my Like This copy as it brings big bucks.

Almost forgot Marshall Crenshaw's Downtown and Life's Too Short. Downtown in particular is one of MC's finest.

Has "The Medicine Show" by Dream Syndicate ever been released on CD?

Buckner and Garcia - Pac Man Fever (original mixes)
The Avalanches - Since I Left You
Pac Man Powerpill - Pac Man Powerpill
Pet Shop Boys - Very (the version with the groovy cover art)

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Thursday, 22 April 2004 21:35 (twenty years ago) link

I can't see how anyone can argue the avalanches album should not be out of print. You had enough chances to buy it, forchristsakes!

― ___ (___), Thursday, 22 April 2004 21:47 (twenty years ago) link

i just exonerated Musea on the 'worst label' thread, but hmmm they did let both of those Saint Just albums (and the one great Sensation's Fix album. and St. Tropez?) slip OOP. unforgivable. someone needs to fix this ugly development tout de suite.

who has the rights to Eskaton's '4 Visions'? this is the Best. Magma. LP. (n)Ever. - sorry, Guapo - and there's no good reason for it not to be on the shelves.

― echoinggrove (echoinggrove), Thursday, 22 April 2004 21:57 (twenty years ago) link

Is "Since I Left You" out of print already?

― Geir Hongro, Thursday, 22 April 2004 22:04 (twenty years ago) link

The new Mojo has an ad for remastered versions of the Richard & Lindas with bonus tracks.

And Hip-O is doing a limited/expanded edition of the Howard Tate stuff at www.hipodirect.com.

I would love to see Helen Merrill's 'American Country Songs' on CD.

― Rickey Wright (Rrrickey), Thursday, 22 April 2004 22:23 (twenty years ago) link

'The new Mojo has an ad for remastered versions of the Richard & Lindas with bonus tracks.'

That's what I was posting.

― pete s, Thursday, 22 April 2004 22:29 (twenty years ago) link

I'd like to see the two React The Dark Side comps reissued. Also the early pre-Parallel Universe 4Hero EPs and records (and maybe even Parallel Universe these days and actually all that early Reinforced stuff should come out in CD form.) And 28 Gun Bad Boy and Dance Before the Police Come and Reggae Owes Me Money and all those other great darkcore/hardcore/early jungle CDs which are nearly unfindable these days. Also someone should reissue Loop's stuff and the early Spectrum things and the Pop Group domestically.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 22 April 2004 22:32 (twenty years ago) link

i'm surprised that "embrace the herd" is deleted already. sure, it's not a perennial like "colossal youth" but really how difficult is it for a company like ryko to press another 500 to have on hand.

none of the "...scene" 60s compilations on deram / decca should be out of print but apparently are. same with many of repertoire's fab reissues (the smoke, kaleidoscope..)

The Feelies "The Good Earth", "Time for a Witness" & "Only Life"

The Good Earth is basically in print (you have to print your own cover art). www.twintone.com. Note also Yung Wu on CD!

― dlp9001, Friday, 23 April 2004 16:31 (twenty years ago) link

seven months pass...

Hmmm, there's a new-ish (a month old?) Citibank ad using "Slow Down" by the Feelies, that I didn't hear until just now. 1) I'm pleasantly surprised and 2) I wonder if that's a positive omen for a real reissue.

Cuco Valoy: Tivo

one year passes...

In my store, I get at least one or two people every month ask me about Traveling Wilburys stuff and they are perplexed that those things are no longer available.

― Brian O'Neill (NYCNative), Monday, 13 February 2006 20:37 (eighteen years ago) link

Having only ever worked in music shops, I can second that.

i want mono trav wilbury's LPs.

I have mentioned that Lick my decals off, baby is supposedly being reissued soon, haven't I?

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Monday, 13 February 2006 20:54 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm almost positive that Young Marble Giants "Collosal Youth" and Gang of Four's "Entertainment" are both still in print considering that I bought both of them new last year. Entertainment was a newer cd version, not the older one that I've seen in other peoples music collections that is probably out of print. I'd say that practically ALL of Flipper's albums need to be reissued. I was luck enough to get "Generic" when it was on cd for a little while, I'm pretty sure all that's still available on cd is "Blowin Chunks". I'm also pretty sure that I saw "No New York" on cd on Amazon not too long ago. I'd also say that No Trend's stuff needs to be reissued, all there is is their last album, plus a collection called "Teen Love, The early months".
