I mean even when the records were new and hot the often didn't get additional printings. And most were never re-pressed so if you wanted a copy you'd often have to buy them used.

They were never embraced as product in the past - this just continues the pattern for most of them.

How much did it cost to jsut re-issue something like Freestyle Fellowship Inner City Griots?

A proper remaster would add at least $5,000 to the project - they'd have to sell hundreds of more copies.

I just don't know if it makes financial sense for many releases.
