Vinyl Reissue finds

These have probably been linked here, but I was doing some digging for new vinyl to replace some of my favorite LPs. I didn't know so many of these classics have been re-released on vinyl:

thanxal; good post! There is a vinyl shop here in Vancouver, Canada that has a new vinyl section that I've been crate digging through for a few years now. Many classic jazz titles by the greats like John Coltrane have been re-issued. They tend to be on the pricier end say $19 plus. A lot of the less popular jazz artists titles like Lee Morgan, etc are in the $9.99 to $11.99 range. I was able to get most of the BLowFly funk vinyl releases in the $9 range. As for Motown, I know many titles have been reissued, the entire Undisputed Truth output for sure. The shop owner pulled me aside last week and stated that one of the major distributors of new vinyl in the U.S. that he orders from is closing down and future prices may spike up. So if you can find a source of reasonably priced product go for it asap. With the new interest, hipsters are on the vinyl bandwagon, I've seen classic rock titles by the likes of Jimi Hendrix, etc go in the $29 range.

Good point. The new-found interest in vinyl is likely to be fleeting.
Of course, if you're in or near Pittsburgh, PA, you can stop by Jerry's Records in Squirrel Hill for the largest single collection of Motown for $3-8 bucks a pop [[all used). I just bought every Diana Ross solo album for $3 a piece. Many were in unplayed condition. He has a gigantic floor display and an even larger wall of soul, which is mostly Motown. I've seen the original Meet the Supremes, Please Mr. Postman, and Hi We're the Miracles there. It really is the best place to get the original stuff [[I just bought most of his Martha and the Vandellas 45s). He still has every Supremes, Four Tops, Temptations, Miracles 45s. I'm going back to get every Four Tops 45 soon.

"Meet the Supremes" was also released on vinyl last year with a new cover:

There have also been a few rereleases in Japan. I can't exactly remember what they were, but I think one of them was "Please Mr. Postman."
