This is a great thread because when these vintage albums get reissued on CD, there is little fanfare and they easily slip back out of print and are gone!

I have started compiling a database of albums on CD. I started with stuff released in Japan only. Here is a link to what I have so far:

Also, I can't stress it enough: Go do searches on iTunes' store and other music digital download stores. Almost monthly I find vintage Hawaiian LPs that I never expected to see the light of day, that are leased ONLY as digital downloads - no CD is ever pressed. Many times, these are directly from the master tapes and it will probably be the only time these will be available officially in a digital format! I preach it all the time: If you like it, buy it. Your purchase will help encourage the execs to hopefully look at other vintage titles in the future---I'm still hoping for Gene Rains!!!!
