As catalog music becomes increasingly critical to record companies’ bottom lines, valued and pushed to a greater degree than the development of new artists and soundscapes, it’s borderline pathological to indulge and enjoy old music when the future of a healthy music industry is at stake. But there’s no denying that there’s something compelling, comfortable, and downright cozy about old favorites and tried and true hits. Here are ten of the best re-releases from the year, in no particular order:
Alan Menken: The Legacy Collection: Aladdin // PUFFY: JET [Vinyl]
Various Artists: BUBBLEGUM CRISIS 35th BOX // The S.O.S. Band: Sands of Time
Mariya Takeuchi: Quiet Life (30th Anniversary) // Takako Mamiya: LOVE TRIP
Spice Girls: Spiceworld 25 // Don Davis: Hyperspace (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Danny Elfman: Sleepy Hollow (Music from the Motion Picture) [Vinyl] // S.Kiyotaka & OMEGA TRIBE: RIVER’S ISLAND REMIX
