Most of the catalogues of the following bands/artists: the Jesus and Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine, A.R. Kane, Unrest, the Fall, Serge Gainsbourg, and Odetta. And more.
Most, if not all of Serge Gainsbourg's albums were reissued recently in France because of the 10th anniversary of his death. There were even vinyl reissues but they disappeared really fast, leaving only the crappy 80s stuff, and besides we're talking about CD reissues, right? Anyway, I know they're available here, and probably at expensive import price since it's on a major.
Geffen has the right idea with re-releasing Sonic Youth's albums with bonus tracks and new mixing/mastering; however, they've chosen to do so with the two least essential records in Sonic Youth's history, "Goo" and "Dirty." What about re-releasing their never-on-CD self-titled debut EP, or some of the tape-based outtakes from the Master-Dik sessions? Blaargh.
As already noted, the self-titled debut EP has been reissued on CD quite some time ago. Personnaly, I'd also like to see a proper reissue of "No New York" -- I know there was one in Japan, but it was out of print last time I went there. Julien
