vinyl reissue

Classic album repressed

A vinyl reissue is a record album re-released on vinyl, typically after being out of print or previously available only in digital formats.

Reissues often target collectors and audiophiles who prefer vinyl's analog sound: The label announced a vinyl reissue of her debut album on 180-gram vinyl.

Some reissues are remastered or include bonus material.
