Albums That Need to Be Pressed / Repressed on Vinyl

WU LYF - Go Tell Fire To The Mountain

It was only pressed once, not sure on numbers but it goes for a fair bit on discogs - $200+ usually.

You know, it's alright when I see older vinyl going for crazy numbers now. But it's worse with newer records, when you first see them in stores and you'd think they'd last, or you'll get them later. This was hanging around for a while but I never got to it in time :(

I dropped Music On Vinyl an email just a few days ago about repressing certain titles — Sade's Love Deluxe, Gene Clark's No Light, Tom Wait's Rain Dogs — and they mentioned that the rights got reverted back. Hoping a big Sade reissue campaign happens soon!!

They should do a Sade box. I'd buy that so fast, even though I have almost all her records already.

Edit: same for Tom Waits
 
Needs to be repressed: Mutemath's self-titled debut album. Original pressing copies are rare, there's 2 on discogs for $499 and up. They did a repressing 3 years ago for the 10th anniversary but they only made 1000 copies, they sold out in like 5 minutes, of course. There's a few of those on discogs for $275 and up. I just want the best album from one of my favorite bands on vinyl without having to go into debt. :cry:

 
I would love to see Dashboard Confessional albums repressed. With good pressings. Not the cheap Urban Outfitters garbage they’ve put out.

I would love to see proper pressing, but really just any pressing of The Places You Have Come To Fear The Most and I'd be happy haha

Reminds me of this absolute joke: https://bludhoney.com/album/pulse-demon

While Merzbow is of course a very, *very* niche artist, Pulse Demon is by far his most popular and well-known work that a lot of people would like to have - and they pressed 500 in copies in total, which is how you get this: https://japanvibe.net/merzbows-lege...ts-a-vinyl-reissue-and-sells-out-immediately/

Plus if I'm not mistaken it was $40 on release, which isn't surprising for a deluxe "first time on vinyl" type of thing, but still a bit steep.

Relapse did it right with the Venereology reissue they did earlier this year. It was limited (I think about 1000 copies?) but if you really wanted it, you could find it, even about a month after it had already come out. Plus they sold it in a $45-ish bundle with a t-shirt and it had new material just to make it more of a "big deal." I guess I can't blame Bludhoney, since it's such a small label, so they expected to press extraordinary amounts, but with them going MIA, even though Merzbow himself said there'd be repress, I feel kind of doubtful.
 
I came to post about this:
It really baffles me why this stone cold classic album from 92 with Ginger Baker on drums has never made it to vinyl

And this:
I'm still here waiting for a press at all of Bone Machine.

And also, John Hiatt - Crossing Muddy Waters
Oh man, this title track gets me every time.

 
This would make a great classics pick! Hopefully it gets reissued sometime soon. I have the recent Afro Harping reissue and it sounds pretty good.

Believe me, I posted it as a suggestion for Classics on the old forum. I used to be disappointed that they never took any of my suggestions, until I realized that they just would have taken the credit, too.
 
John Scofield's A Go Go has only ever had one vinyl pressing and it was from South Korea in 2013. That doesn't seem right
