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.

actually come to think of it, I don't think there's a proper Lilys album widely in print. I think places have overstocks of some of them, but the only lilys records that show up in most stores I go to, both online and real, are the split with Aspera (demos), the Bliss Out Ep (good, but not really satisfying any Lilys jones), and the "Selected" EP (great, but only 5 songs).
so yeah, someone go ahead and make all that old Lilys stuff available...

I'd also add to the list:
Wall of Voodoo - _Dark Continent_Oingo Boingo - The first EP. Yes. Oingo fucking Boingo.The first Bevis Frond albums that came out in the US on Restless (or was it Reckless?) and as far as i know have been OOP for awhile.
-Matt, who grew up in the 80s. Obviously.

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.
