Reissues continue to shine a fresh spotlight of records that were overlooked when they first surfaced or were so limited that they instantly became sought-after. In 2022, we are back with another collection of outstanding singles, lovingly re-issued and repressed, saving us from those Discogs sharks or listening to these records only on YouTube. The number of quality reissue singles doesn't seem to be abating and seems to have spread vastly across many genres including several very hot dance reissues.
Sitting firmly in our memory are singles like Sound Metaphors' Miss You subsidiary reissuing Italo hidden gem "Automaticamore" from Patrizia Pellegrino from 1981. The chorus alone would make any dancefloor blow up to smithereens! Sound Metaphors should definitely get the star prize in 2022 for introducing us to obscure records we had never even heard of before , including the delightful Phillip Bodden with 'What A Heat', a Calypso groove. Numero sourced out some classic 7" reissues this year spreading from Cheryl Glasgow's disco beauty "Glued To The Spot" from 1987 to Dan Boadi's afro-tastic funk "Money Is The Root Of Evil" from 1967 all the way to Junei's 1970's guitar disco filled masterpiece "Let's Ride". Another 7" we couldn't get enough of was Eunice Collins' "At The Hotel" from 1974 which got the full reissue business after being hidden in the shadows for many years, reaching Discogs heights of $700.
