rereleases
Albums out again
Rereleases are products—typically films, albums, or video games—that are issued again after their original distribution period has ended.
Studios and labels rerelease content to reach new audiences, commemorate anniversaries, or capitalize on renewed interest.
The theatrical rerelease of the classic film brought in millions at the box office.
As a verb, to rerelease is to make something available again: The band rereleased their debut album with bonus tracks.
