What needs to be re-issued?

What record is just too damn hard to find & needs a proper re-issue (with or without bonus tracks) on vinyl?
I prefer a thick cardboard sleeve re-issue of "Kusini" , "Thesda" or Hilton Felton's "Family & Friends" for my shop right now...

And when I say "proper," I mean something that's not exclusively aimed at the Northern Soul crowd. Their Northern releases weren't even half the story.
this.
I have always been so disappointed with UK label-centirc comps for this reason.
Hopefully now that the Hi label is back in the hands of an American, I would like to see a proper HI singles comp, the UK ones that came out years ago are really terrible... not very deep and focus only on the string-soaked "northern" sides.
I've seen more variety on the Hi sides than I have on the One-Derful reissues (and I'm talking about the UK labels).
The reissues I have from the UK include a Pawn anthology (Pawn was a Hi sister label), a reissue of the River Town Blues album (with a grip of Hi's bluesier soul singles added), and a so-so comp of their female soul acts. That's much more than any reissue label has given us from One-derful, although some might not like some of the more "clever" thematically-arranged CD's (like the one comp of Hi soul songs where each song title was a question).
The enitre cataolg could use a a nice reissue...or box set for that matter.
Hard as heck to find on CD.
Assuming they have not been reissued.
I'm almost sure I've seen Kim Melvin's "Do The Popcorn"/"Keep The Faith" on somebody's Hi comp, although whether it was from the US or the UK, I can't say.
The rock band Iota actually self-released their own comp, as you probably know. (I think you may have been the one at Shangri-La who rang me up on the day I bought it.)
Tricky Zingers, an early seventies album by Creme Soda which (from all reports) sounds like a straight throwback to 60s garage and frat rock.
These haven't been reissued. Seems like a no brainer.... issues with Pride/MGM ?
Also lot of Brazil grails have not been reissued yet.
Not hearing the frat, really, though the garage is there. There's also some psych and folk going on. It's a nice album and there have been at least two vinyl boots but the one I have sounds like a lousy repro. It does need a good reissue.
Hell yes. I have all the LPs and 45s, but there must be some unreleased ish. Hugely underappreciated catalog.
I've only heard one or two songs from it, but the late Greg Shaw used to hype this band and album all the time, in his 70s fanzine Bomp. He basically made it sound like Creme Soda were an anachronistic throwback (in a good way) to what sixties rock was before psychedelia took over. Sounds like my kind of band,
Le Stim "A Tribute To Muhammad Ali (We Crown The King)"
It's in print
And they could reissue the reissue of stefano torrosi feelings considering the exorbitant prices its reaching
Is that the most expensive reissue ever or are there any others
The original reissue on this has reached pretty high (I think +200$ in some cases).... Needs another reasonably priced reissue
Also, this:
saw one go for $600 , can't think of any legit reissue thats gone for bigger bucks
someone's going to boot that one soon for sure , easier to copy an existing reissue
...plus anything else by this Chicago blues singer.
I believe there's a (japanese) reissue from last year. I've seen it in stores for 50 euros. (which is way too much for a reissue imo)
