Dan, do you have a list of what Feelies records are getting the reissue treatment? I'd probably buy them all at this point, having stupidly sold some of them (on vinyl) years ago.

No, I just know they're hoping to get them back in print and working towards that. It may be harder with the second two because they were on a major label. Other then that, all we can do is cross our fingers.

― dan selzer, Thursday, 8 March 2007 20:26 (seventeen years ago) link

you can get a "custom burned CD" of the Good Earth over at www.tt.net. The Yung Wu album is there too...

Could've sworn I already posted this to this thread, but: both Disco Not Disco comps and David Mancuso Loft comps. Someone really needs to get on the ball and get these suckers in print again ASAP

Oh, also: got confirmation that Fruit Tree is to be reissued, at least in the UK. No idea about a US release, though.

The Shockheaded Peters back catalogue seems to be OOP and commanding high prices second hand. Which seems odd for a band that were briefly the next big thing, and didn't sound much like anyone else. Still find sections of 'Not Born Beautiful' running through my head. A lot of it was barely available first time around, though.

M. Ward - "End of Amnesia"

hey now, this one is in print..as it well should be since it's really fucking good...and possibly his best (though i'm partial to transfiguration of vincent, too, which probably wins out in the end)

― stephen, Sunday, 11 March 2007 18:10 (seventeen years ago) link

Shock Headed Peters seconded, dammit. Danielle Dax's stuff is probably OOP as well.

Current 93: Dog's Blood Rising

― DeeDee, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 00:11 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah a whole ton of that World Serpent stuff is now OOP

BEHOLD!

They should still have them in stock, I picked up all three good ones a few months ago.

― Telephone thing, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 05:36 (seventeen years ago) link

speaking of t bone, are those alpha band albums from the 70's on cd? i have one that's really good. and i'm no t bone fanatic or nothing.

oh my god my life is complete. thank you so much!!!!!!!

I'm not so sure but I won't argue with you. It's not available from his website at least.

― kv_nol, Thursday, 15 March 2007 13:17 (seventeen years ago) link

The Vaselines' one and only album. Granted you can get all the tracks on a compilation, but it would be nice to see back it back in the shops. There can't have been too many copies of it produced first time around.

― Son of a Gun, Thursday, 15 March 2007 13:23 (seventeen years ago) link

not just out-of-print, but never even released on cd:
bill dixon orchestra - intents and purposes
neil young - time fades away

― Lawrence the Looter, Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:50 (seventeen years ago) link

would sure be nice if the old NIC JONES records got put out with any real sort of distribution/ availability -- the CD reissues came and went with the blink of an eye. i'm looking for LP reissues, myself -- doubt i'll ever see that as he's not got the hipster cachet of bert jansch and shirley collins, for whatever reason.

and of course the self-titled album by BOBBY CHARLES on Bearsville --which is basically the great lost BAND record as all those guys play on it,--should be released outside of a $40 Japanese import CD or lo-res mp3s via iTunes...

The Chrome Box

― sexyDancer, Thursday, 15 March 2007 17:07 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, what is the hold up with Nic Jones' old records? seems like every other English folkie type has a lavish reissue series of some sort. why not Nic? the only place I've heard stuff from them is I think Mike M's blog...

― tylerw, Thursday, 15 March 2007 21:26 (seventeen years ago) link

that's right, i forget i do a blog. not updated in how many months? sorry. anyway, nic's best album -- and for me the finest record of the entire british folk revival (pardon the hyperbole) *is* in print: PENGUIN EGGS, from 1980. all earlier stuff on trailer and other labels is not easily found, at all. i've finally succumbed to paying too much for the lps on eBay after waiting for someone to do an lp reissue, even a 2lp best-of.

― Mike McGooney-gal, Thursday, 15 March 2007 22:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Yup, I've got Penguin Eggs--but I'd love to hear the other 6-7 (?) previous records of his (without paying the eBay prices). Seems like some intrepid reissue lable could exploit the whole "here's the guy who Bob Dylan ripped off" thing for some press coverage. Aren't "Jim Jones" and Canadeeio" (both on Good As I Been To You) pretty much borrowed from Nic's arrangements?

Anyway, Mike, your blog is missed! It was one of the few mp3 blogs I liked!

― tylerw, Thursday, 15 March 2007 22:28 (seventeen years ago) link

sexyDancer OTM, hell all of the Chrome!

Cleopatra did this horrifying abridged version of the box with edits of all the Chronicles songs and missing parts of other albums. So disappointing. Their single disc best-of is great, however.

Browsing on Amazon again, and found out that the first Queens of the Stone Age album is OOP. Inexcusable.

Also someone should reissue Loop's stuff and the early Spectrum things and the Pop Group domestically.

My thoughts exactly.

Wrens -- Secaucus
Feelies -- everything

Let's hear it for North Jersey. [Me? No, I live in California.]

― Kenny, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 16:21 (sixteen years ago) link

Go Team - everything, or at least Archer Come Sparrow and the 7"s.

seriously,
I guess T. Vail ain't with it.

Reissued last year.

It seems the CDO format may now solve some of these problems:

i saw this yesterday Geir when digging around for OOP Blancmange albums.
are they legit cds then, and they just reprint a copy when ordered ?

it's no fun when you can just get whatever you want, whenever you want...

The Buzzcocks' Another Music in a Different Kitchen and A Different Kind of Tension are way the hell out of print on CD (though oddly, Love Bites from the same reissue series is still out there and easy to find), as is Rock 'n' Roll With the Modern Lovers. Hopefully whoever put out the US CD of The Modern Lovers will get to work putting out the rest of Richman's catalog, but I'm not holding my breath.

― Telephone thing, Thursday, 20 March 2008 21:39 (sixteen years ago) link

Love Unlimited - Under the Influence of...

Barry White's group. Lovely (har har) album, for real. I saw it at an antique store today for only a dollar and started to do a victory dance, but it turned out to be so scratches so persistent and deep that even a dollar seemed like a ripoff.

― Z S, Thursday, 20 March 2008 23:13 (sixteen years ago) link

Got the recent reissue of Chrome's "Third from the sun", now I need "Blood on the Moon".

I believe "Fegmania" and "Element Of Light" by Robyn Hitchcock are currently out of print. A shame...

― Geir Hongro, Wednesday, 30 April 2008 00:21 (sixteen years ago) link

Josef K's discography beyond the recent comp "Entomology" really needs to be (re-)reissued.

― Millsner, Wednesday, 30 April 2008 01:44 (sixteen years ago) link

all the hyman/light/mottola stuff touched on in the Bug In The Bass Bin thread

― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 30 April 2008 01:50 (sixteen years ago) link

Volcano Suns' "The Bright Orange Years" goddamn it.

― telepathy_rock!, Wednesday, 30 April 2008 02:24 (sixteen years ago) link

I would imagine those R Hitchcock titles are oop pending the (imminent, I believe) release of the second instalment following on from last year's I Wann Go Backwards set.

My latest nomination:
Lots of Loving / Jah Life Killa by Ranking Dread
