Vinyl Cave: Reissues by Dwight Yoakam, k.d. lang and Iron City Houserockers
Expand
Reissues have long been a solid cash cow for the music industry. The segment really took off after the introduction of compact discs convinced a lot of folks to buy CDs of everything that they owned on vinyl. During the 1990s and early 2000s when relatively few new albums were coming out on LP, indie labels such as Sundazed countered the CD revolution by reviving perennial favorites and rare titles on LP; even major label CBS/Sony was somewhat quietly repressing LPs off and on. Today, both serious and casual music collectors are continuing to fuel the resurgence of LP sales by purchasing a boatload of reissues. It s somewhat ironic that this time around, collectors are often looking for vinyl reissues of albums that were initially released only on CD and sometimes cassette (or occasionally in miniscule quantities on LP).
