Westbound Records Reissues?

[daviddesper]

I have seen several references to a big re-issue project for this label, but so far the information is sketchy. Even their own website has limited information on it.

Has anyone seen a list of what might be re-issued? Will they be CDs or just vinyl or downloads?

In the UK, Ace / Kent has put out many Westbound / Eastbound tracks in the past.

Yes; The Westbound Records catalog in being reissued by Org Music in the USA [while continuing to be handled by Ace Records in the UK]. Here's a link to their website and a list to what they've released so far. While they've only reissued a handful of albums so far [and they don't offer a lot of info about the project], they do release them in CD, vinyl, and Digial Download formats.

And Org Music also has a few reissues from the Brunswick Records catalog as well.

Thanks but I had already visited their website and was quite disappointed. Not only do they have so little information, but on my computer at least, the print is so light that it is hard to read. [[I have that with one or two other websites and have never figured out what causes it.)

Also the prices make no sense. Take for example the first one listed, the Ohio Players. It says "from $8.00," but when you click on it, they are asking $30.00 for the vinyl version. I was just hoping that there would be a list somewhere detailing what will be released on what date, but instead all I see are five albums and three t-shirts.

OK I checked again and I now see that the $8.00 is the download price, but I am still disappointed at this early stage.
