Two comps. were released in the US at the start of this decade, so while it's not proper albums, it's not too hard to find SM material.
all those '90s Interscope/Geffen albums by ex/future indiers like Sloan
Sloan's albums are available through their own label (they got the rights to the Geffen ones in the mid-1990s), so they'll probably never go out of print, and you never see the two Geffen ones for more than $8 Canadian in stores.

It's also worth saving a search for them on e-bay as they pop up every now and again. I was looking for 'Ocean of Sound' for years but in the last 12 months I've managed to get hold of all five of them over the internet (only got 'Guitars on Mars' a couple of weeks ago). Mostly from e-bay, one from Reckless I think, one from another online shop. Haven't paid more than about £20 for any of them and I got 'Electro for Droids' for about £3.
But obviously reissuing them would be a good idea.
Another album that shouldn't have gone out of print is 'Pacific Ocean Blue' by Dennis Wilson.All well worth getting,

Anyway, 'Feedback' by Spirit is crying out for reissue, a shitload of Roy Harper, obviously 'Decals', Sixto Rodriguez 'Cold Fact'.

I never thought I'd get them either, and wouldn't have if it was just a case of looking for them in bricks and mortar record shops. Let the net be your friend.

yeah it really annoyed me to see all those Hosono reissues sell out immediately and go for 3x the price. I feel like if you've been posting about the guy for a decade you deserve a shot at a copy, even if you didn't preorder.

Or, more aggravatingly, trying to find a out-of-print boxed set, and then the artist dies, and the same set is a couple hundred $ more than a week (or a day) earlier. Aretha Franklin's Take A Look was going for maybe $100-$175, but right after she died, it was (is) impossible to find for less than $350.

when a hyped box sells out before the release date even hits, doesn't that also show that the label is leaving money on the table? Seems like running out that fast would merit at least one more run, if the demand is there, but I don't run a label so...

Minimizing risk seems to take priority over maximizing profit these days. They need or want to sell everything pressed. Especially those running smaller boutique or vanity labels who have to store their own stock, vs. labels whose unsold stock sits in a distributor's warehouse. Fwiw I have spoken to artists who are very frustrated by this practice, and others who grudgingly accept it.
As you say the focus is not (and imo, should not be) on physical product
― Adoration of the Mogwai (Deflatormouse), Wednesday, 27 January 2021 22:48 (three years ago) link
Yeah, that all makes sense, and I get it. My expectations adjust depending on the label, artist, etc. I have a little less understanding when a label like Universal blows it with something like that Thompson box set.
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 27 January 2021 22:50 (three years ago) link
I hung around waiting for a copy of that Trees box set to appear as an Xmas present that had been ordered and supposedly sent to me. It never appeared. NOw just had to pay for a copy so hoping that is the end of the story.
I thought i got the audio for the Thompson box which had the late 70s lps by the couple then couldn't find it. Shame would love a copy cos I don't know that late 70s stuff between Pour Down Like Silver and Shoot Out The Lights. & that was a box that was getting publicity and reviews almost everywhere and Thompson is not exactly unknown either. So yeah what exactly gives like.

im sympathetic to risk-averse labels insofar as (ime) people saying "i would totally buy that" do not in fact always totally buy that
― nobody like my rap (One Eye Open), Thursday, 28 January 2021 14:47 (three years ago) link
Oh, absolutely. I just hate to see buying new music turn into some sneaker drop thing where you have to be on the right website or see the right tweet at the exactly right time to snag a pre-order.
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 28 January 2021 14:58 (three years ago) link
no yeah totally. as a consumer there can be this almost demeaning element to it. like yesterday i got a promo email from a label about a short run repressing of a recent-ish release i wanted , "COPIES IN STOCK, WILL SELL OUT!", i immediately followed the link and bought a copy, and while i'm excited to get this album theres also a weird gross feeling about like buying something on command
― nobody like my rap (One Eye Open), Thursday, 28 January 2021 15:07 (three years ago) link
I am upset that I feel bad I missed out on the Deepchord - Lanterns limited repress. FOMO is a valuable tool. The same thing exists with boutique video game publishers; it's their entire business model.
I've been lucky enough to score a Grouper 7" that remains $75+ on discogs
On the other hand I've been had by the "X copies remaining" manipulative device on bandcamp and overpaid for an album or 2. Freaking FOMO.

I’m guessing they are in indie ownership rights limbo but I would figure there would be interest in getting those early Screaming Trees records into print again.
To me, Buzz Factory was my favorite one they did and it is crazy expensive on secondary markets as a cd and Lp at this point.
