Rhino Records of the USA (one of the world's leading re-issue labels) has had a long-standing relationship with the WEA catalogue. Its legendary archives span over 60 years of recorded music - the Atlantic label, Warner Brothers, Elektra, Asylum and all points distributed by WEA in between.
All titles listed below were issued Monday 11 August 2008 in the UK (there are others in the USA) and there's more promised in the forthcoming months. Each release is based on the American version of the album - and I've provided year of release and original label for your reference.
Each has an "Encore" sticker on the outer jewel case to identify them. They're priced cheaply, £5 in London stores and although not stated as such on the packaging, being Rhino, they're remasters. But being so cheap, the trade off is the inlay - which is a gatefold slip of paper in almost all cases with barely a track list and nothing else.
Still - as you can see, while some of them are simply re-releases, there's plenty of great titles seeing the light of day for the first time...
