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 albums, lovingly re-issued and repressed, saving us from those Discogs sharks or listening to these records only on YouTube. The number of quality reissue albums doesn't seem to be abating despite the high cost of vinyl manufacturing and still seems to span across many genres.
Top of the pile (and a no-brainer as to what would be our No.1 reissue album) is De La Soul's '3 Feet High & Rising' - it took a long time for the album to get an official re-issue, thanks to all those samples contained within, but finally got a full release on many different colours !
Another lavish re-issue was the box set of Pharoah Sanders' 1977 classic 'Pharoah' - at times ambient and serene, at others funky & modeal, it would become one of the artist's most beloved records and one of the great works of the 20th century !
And what could be more Phonica than Ricardo Villalobos's 'Alcachofa; probably one of our best selling albums ever and containing the gems that are 'Easy Lee', 'Dexter' and now, with the added bonus of the Tools 12inch, my favourite 'Waiworinao'
