The "Why isn't this reissued on vinyl thread?" Part 2

re: the desperate bicycles.

what's more do-it-yourself than bootlegging?

[mikesniper]

Nastyfacts (Think a vinyl reissue will compete with their pay-to-download setup)
Desperate Bicycles (This is an old story, but they don't want it reissued on any format. Period.)

Some ones I still don't understand:

Dicks "Kill From the Heart" (Who cares if it was booted, could still sell 1,000 at least, easily, in under a year.)
The remainder of the early Touch and Go catalog.
More Rough Trade vinyl (Scritt Politti early stuff being the only recent one I can remember. As time goes by, bootlegs appear, Pop Group being the most recent. Guess I won't try to reissue that!)

Nastyfacts are sorely mistaken.  the folks who "want" it want it on vinyl.
Touch & Go are trying to get some stuff in order, like I said before I don't ever expect a legit Necros reissue, but I'd expect to see a lot of the early stuff making its way back sometime in the next couple of years.
The Rough Trade stuff is real tricky because when they went out of business in the late 80's or early 90's the rights to stuff were auctioned off so now lots of various folks own that action.  Every record could be a different story.
Pop Group.  Don't be put off by a boot, If a legit, not too expensive edition were done it would sell and sell well.

What sucks about Nastyfacts is that Cheryl, who wrote all those songs, WANTED it reissued. The producer owns the rights, I guess? She wasn't into it.

Maybe they're just sitting back and waiting for someone to do it.

Tales of Terror but it will not happen until Dave Ferguson dies.

sibylle baier - colour green

Get Back did Golden Dawn. And while probably not official, I have a vinyl copy of the Sibylle Baier stuff.

that's my sneaking suspicion. i just hope someone does it up nice and not half-assed.

apparently, the guy from beyond the implode is really difficult to deal with...a 12" with both singles sure would be nice for the plebs...

You'd think with Japrocksampler somebody'ed get on the damn Japanese psych records.

So far, just the Flower Travellin' Band and The Mops. And those aren't in print all the time, just randomly.

[mikesniper]

Here's some that would sell a ton, regardless of what you think about them musically:

Shaggs
Amon Duul 2
Can (even with the boots out there, which have probably sold 3,000 copies of each album. Almost all people who like rock and roll and have a record player will want to buy at least one Can record.)

And some that would be good to repress if sold for cheap ($12ish)

Hawkwind
Silver Apples (The reissue out now tags at $32)
1st 3 Cure records (which are bootlegged as single copies for $20 and SELL and released in triple-LP sets w. bonus for $45.
Smiths records (not expensive records at all, but they'd sell for $12 like hotcakes. We'd sell 3-4 a day I think.)

I'm waiting on Jugg Fucklers to bootleg the Da Slyme LP.

jim ford bear family cd's
terry manning - home sweet home
marine girls
simon turner (mike alway, are you out there?)

SCG - Torch of the Mystics

I'm sort of bending rules here, but these cd-only releases should be made available on vinyl:

Cheater Slicks - Forgive Thee
va - Secret Museum of Mankind (the whole Yazoo catalogue would deserve getting reissued on vinyl actually)

[panama fist]

what happened to the astralwerks neu! lp's?

Slowdive - Souvlaki & Pygmalion

Cheater Slicks - Forgive Thee
va - Secret Museum of Mankind (the whole Yazoo catalogue would deserve getting reissued on vinyl actually)

All 3 are great ideas. SCG's catalog would probably do well, continuously, on vinyl if it could be kept in print. They're one of those bands.

re: Yazoo and Yazoo type stuff: While it makes perfect sense to all of us, the issuers of that kind of music (mastered from 78's) tend not to care about LP vs. CD. Any old-timey stuff will sell on vinyl here the day it goes out into the store. But the people at the labels see themselves as archivists, and want the 72 minute runtime and cheapness of the CD format. Because they only care about 78's? I dunno..

There's 100's and 100's of quality LP's ready to be reissued from the Yazoo, Shanachie, Columbia Legacy type catalog, but they're not interested.

Most probable result is more Mississippi styled bootlegs.

Keeping with the folk ladies:

Anne Briggs - The Time Has Come. One of my favorite folk records & it goes for at LEAST $300 every time it pops up on ebay, usually more.

Also, seconding the Television Personalities - especially the first one.

Subway Sect - What's The Matter Boy.

Dolly Mixture - Demonstration Tapes.
