Hi everyone,
Last year, Neil Young's "On the Beach" was issued on CD for the first time (after nearly 30 years). And only this week, 40 years after it was recorded, "The Paul Simon Songbook" has finally been issued on compact disc. These are two albums which have been deleted for decades, and also which the artists swore would never be issued on CD for nearly 20 years.
Now, it seems to me, that if Neil and Paul can do it - what about Bill and Jimmy?
Hypothetically - how would people feel about a reissue program? Would the idea of shiny new CDs (possibly even - gasp! - officially downloadable mp3s?) appeal? Or would it destroy the mystique, I wonder?
From a collectivity point of view, vinyl releases would be better. If they did do any re-issues, what would they do? Also, a lot of their work is now licensed to Arista/BMG so there would be issues with them. Unless of course it was Arista/BMG taht did the re-issues.
