If they would just sell Barbara Mandrell’s tracks on itunes or one of those site would be nice

Wow! I can’t believe they’re actually releasing this on CD. I had kind of given up hope that any label would consider re-releasing some of the CDs I’ve missed over the years on this dying format. The completist hidden in me would also like to collect a couple of Mark Chesnutt’s, George Strait’s and Vince Gill’s. I would also love a deluxe version of some of Reba’s alums (Rumor Has It, For My Broken Heart) and Rosanne Cash’s Rhythm & Romance.

Only two of his studio albums for RCA are still available -- L.A. to Miami and Don't Close Your Eyes. . I would have thought that I Wonder Do You Think Of Me , which outsold L.A. to Miami would still be available, but it isn't. I'd also like to add to my previous post that I'd like to see more of Connie Smith's work released on CD.

The one I'm most miffed about right now is Jerry Jeff Walker. His catalog is a total mess, with some of his best albums basically only available as MP3s (Gettin' By, Gypsy Songman, A Man Must Carry On), one only on cassette or vinyl (Jerry Jeff Walker), and one just totally out of print (It's a Good Night For Singin'). And only one of the classics on CD is remastered (Five Years Gone). What his fans really need is a big, well thought-out box set of remastered material. Ditto to Dolly Parton.

I was staggered to realise recently that a lot of Keith Whitley’s RCA output is not commercially available at all (either on CD or digitally), and that’s not even all that long ago.

Great minds think alike; I was considering doing a similar topic on MKOC. I’d really like to see more of Dolly’s work re-released, particularly her late 60s and early 70s work. I’d also like to see more of Loretta’s and Tammy’s studio albums re-released. They were both making solid albums in the 80s, even when they were past their commercial peaks. When these three ladies teamed up for the Honky Tonk Angels project in 1993, they reportedly recorded enough material for a second album, which has been collecting dust in the Sony vaults ever since. There’s a treasure trove of Charley Pride’s material that deserves to see the light of day, and ditto for Barbara Mandrell’s catalog.
