This has also been reissued, by Sunspot in 2012:

I would say it's actually rather likely we will see more Keith Hudson re-issues, he seems to be "trendy" (as the OP puts it) and a popular choice.

Yabby You *Jah Jah Way* was in the 2014 batch of Island Reggae LPs in Universal's "Back to Black" series and is commonly available:

I would say he is "trendy" as well.

Cultural Roots ‎*Hell A Go Pop* was reissued by Greensleeves on LP and CD in 2007 and again on LP in 2014, so has been easily available for nearly ten years.

Today, I suggest this wicked LP:

The Pioneers, Pusher Man, Trojan LP (also released via Sydney Crooks label)

I do believe this may be re-issued on vinyl one day

For me it has been Johnny Osbourne - Nightfall. Definitely unlikely to see a re-issue for this.

It was re-issued on CD as part of the VP *Reggae Legends* box set, but I guess you mean vinyl? But why is that so unlikely? Many of the albums that have been included in those boxes have also seen vinyl re-issues, and from the Johnny Osbourne box set I think actually all the other three albums, *Fally Lover*, *Never Stop Fighting* and *Water Pumping*, have already seen LP releases, the latter only last year, so on the contrary I would think it is highly likely that *Nightfall* will follow. :-)

"Carlton and the Shoes - This heart of mine" has also been reissued a couple times, both on LP and CD.

This is on top of my wish list:

This is true. But at least the lp reissues I've heard of This Heart of Mine are crummy presses--a shame since this record is brilliant all the way through. I was fortunate enough to find a great deal on an original while the discogs entry was still a murky mess.

Even a simple vinyl to vinyl rip should sound much better than the previous reissues. Of course if the masters are still hanging around that would be ideal.

Exception to the principle, as this one IS likely to be re-issued:

Jah Malla, Alive & Well, Clappers 1980 LP

82 eur median price on D'cogs, 126 want vs 32 have.

So nice to re-issue 2000 of these. High 3 digit numbers would be gone in a month, the rest over 2 years max.

Killer, so will be re-issued. Question is by when and by whom?
