[Spawn71] The french label Bad Reputation has planned the following two reissues:
WILDSIDE: Under The Influence (it was time!)
https://badreputation.fr/epages/box28314.sf/en_GB/?ViewObjectPath=%2FShops%2Fbox28314%2FProducts%2FBAD200502
THE BOMBERS - Aim High
https://badreputation.fr/epages/box28314.sf/en_GB/?ViewObjectPath=%2FShops%2Fbox28314%2FProducts%2FBAD200501
Both reissues should be also remastered.
[Rkbluez] Thanks for the heads up...been wanting to pick up that Wildside album again for a long time.
[Spawn71] The next reissue from the Bad Reputation label will be the second album of ROYAL COURT OF CHINA, "GEARED & PRIMED" (1989):
https://badreputation.fr/epages/box28314.sf/fr_FR/?ObjectPath=/Shops/box28314/Products/BAD190802
Considering that Rock Candy is currently dead, with no new releases announced since March, I think this is good news.
[ReynoRoxx] I think the phrase 'currently dead' is a tad harsh, there's lots going on behind the scenes, but with distribution channels currently hampered then I can understand why no further announcements have been made with regards to release dates.
[Rostoned] Here's Bad Reputation complete list of reissues so far, have to dig Jack Green "Humanesque" and Stevie Wright "Black Eyed Bruiser", I was not aware of both till recently.
Still I don't get why Rock Candy or any other label could never manage to reissue Wildside UTI, considering it's been expensive on second hand market since forever (not rare, but expensive, which is different), and now out of the blue a little french label puts it out. I wonder if BR reissue is legit and licensed from Universal (or Warner, don't know who deals with US Capitol catalog now) then...
[Spawn71] Another upcoming reissue: a 2 CDs edition of the classic China's "Sign In The Sky", with live and bonus tracks:
https://badreputation.fr/epages/box28314.sf/fr_FR/?ObjectPath=/Shops/box28314/Products/BAD200602
[Spawn71] New remastered reissue: Lion's third album, "Trouble In Angel City".
https://badreputation.fr/epages/box28314.sf/en_GB/?ViewObjectPath=%2FShops%2Fbox28314%2FProducts%2FBAD200603
[Rkbluez] Their reissues are always good, probably check out the China & definitely the Lion.
[Rostoned] I really hope they will do the China Sky debut, since nobody else has ever touched it yet (legit). Also Danny Wilde Boyfriend, Jeff Paris Race To Paradise and many others. Rock Candy announced some of these but then ... ?

[PatrickHemming] I really enjoy Saraya’s two albums. Peter Collins production on When The Blackbird Sings is outstanding.
[Gdazegod] Saraya WTBBS is totally awesome. Tony Bruno's guitarwork is absolutely killer.
[Rkbluez] Bandit..amazing that's more like it...the Mariah disc was killer now Bandit...I never thought I'd see that one on CD but I'm psyched...Saraya is great to as I sold my original copy and really need to replace it...getting way more excited over Bad Reputations reissues lately than Rock Candy's.

[Hadley] Has All Systems Go by Vinnie Vincent Invasion ever been reissued? Preferably with the unedited version of Love Kills (the 2003 reissue cut the song down by removing some verses, which was very jarring and noticeable).

[Rkbluez] Re: Ron Goedert - Breaking All The Rules. Never thought I'd see the day this one would get reissued...killer hard rockin' glam metal from the singer of White Witch...originally released in 1980.

Cool I remember owning this on album but haven't heard it in years...at least Bad Reputation isn't releasing the same old stuff that's been out on discs for years...they are reaching deep.
