GREAT, we could use a lovely new re-issue label! Good for you! One thing I look for in a re-issue is liner notes (oh, BTW: I'm a strictly CD guy) - y'know, more than "Thanks to all the players of instruments." The market is missing some of the greats from mid to late 70's - Big Joe, Clint Eastwood... would LOVE to hear some of those as the original albums were intended...
Best of luck!

and I don't know what the legal situation is with this now (other than that there has been legal issues), but Scientist's Greensleeves-era albums really could do with being put back into print - and staying there.
I second this suggestion!!!

Johnny Osbourne - Folly Ranking?
It's surprising that no-one has ever reissued that one properly.

Another thought for ya, MellowMan
The entirety of Junior Byles' post-Lee Perry work. I reckon that you could probably fit everything else he ever did onto 2CDs...

On a rocksteady tip, I would love to see good reissues (decent sound quality, packaging, no crappy overdubs) of the Hopeton Lewis - Take It Easy and Bob Andy - Songbook albums.
